(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.)
Caution: 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.
