Insert the processor.
Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning
the FC-PGA corner marking with the
socket corner closest to the actuation arm
tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent mis-

Dont force processor into socket. If it does
not go in easily, check for mis-orientation
and debris.
Make sure the processor is fully inserted
into the socket on all sides.
