Caution – If the CPU is correctly aligned, the you should be able to easily insert the
CPU into the socket. If you feel more than minimal resistance, stop and recheck the
alignment. Forcing a misaligned CPU into the socket can permanently damage the
device.
6. When the CPU is fully seated in the socket, close the CPU cover.
Note – The CPU cover might not align correctly with the chip, after it is installed. If
this happens, open the cover and push the cover slightly to the side to better align it
with the chip, and reclose the cover.
