X10SRM-F/-TF User Manual
Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction. Make sure that
it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't
close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load
plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
5. Using your thumb and index nger, hold the CPU on its edges. Align the CPU keys,
which are semi-circle cutouts, against the socket keys.
6. Once they are aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into 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 damaging the
CPU or the socket.)
