Preparing the Motherboard
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the
processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom
of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the
motherboard:
Unhook the left socket lever by pushing down
and away from the socket.
Unhook the right socket lever by pushing down
and away from the socket.
Gently press the left socket lever and the load
plate will lift from the socket.
Open the load plate and make sure not to damage
any of the pins inside of the socket.
Note: After removing the CPU socket cover, it is recommended to store it in
case you ever need to transport your motherboard. If you ever remove the
CPU, it is highly recommended to reinstall the socket cover.
