CPU Installation
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket: lift the lever completely as shown on the picture on the right; otherwise, you will damage the CPU socket when power is applied. (Install CPU1 first.)
2. Insert the CPU in the socket, making sure that pin 1 of the CPU aligns with pin 1 of the socket (both corners are marked with a triangle). When using only one CPU, install it into CPU socket #1 (socket #2 is automatically disabled if only one CPU is used).
3.Press the lever down until you hear the *click* so you
can be sure that the CPU is securely installed in the CPU socket.
