Notes:
The underside of the processor has components that may damage the socket pins if installed improperly.
The processor must align correctly with the socket opening before installation. DO NOT DROP the processor
into the socket.
The pins inside the processor socket are extremely sensitive. Other than the CPU, use no object to make
contact with the pins inside the processor socket.
When possible, use a processor insertion tool to install the processor.

B).
7. Remove the socket cover by pressing it out of the load plate.
Note the location of the gold key on the corner of processor (see letter C). Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the
