Chapter 2: Installation

3.Use your thumb and your index fi nger to hold the CPU at the North Center Edge and the South Center Edge of the CPU.

4.Align CPU Pin1 (the CPU corner marked with a triangle) against the socket corner that is marked with a triangle cutout.

5.Align the CPU key that is the semi-circle cutout below a gold dot against the socket key, the notch on the same side of the triangle cutout on the socket.

6.Once aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down to the socket. (**Do not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically. Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damage to the CPU or the socket.)

7.With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.

8.Use your thumb to gently push the socket clip down to the clip lock.

9.If the CPU is properly installed into the socket, the plastic cap will be automatically released from the load plate when the clip is pushed in the clip lock. Remove the plastic cap from the motherboard.

!(*Warning: Please save the plastic cap. The motherboard must be shipped with the plastic cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment without the plastic cap properly installed will cause damage to the socket pins.)
