Socket key
CPU installed in socket
PnP cap released
from load plate
Use your thumb and index fi nger
to hold the CPU at opposite
sides.
Align pin1 of the CPU (the corner
marked with a triangle) with
the notched corner of the CPU
socket.
Find the corner of the CPU that
has a semi-circle cutout below a
gold dot (CPU key). This corner
should be aligned with the cutout
on the socket (socket key).
Once 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 and do
not rub the CPU against any sur-
face or any of the contacts, which
may damage the CPU and/or its
contacts.
With the CPU in the socket, in-
spect the four corners of the CPU
to make sure that it is properly
installed.
Use your thumb to gently push
the load lever down until it snaps
into the retention clasp.
If the CPU is properly installed
into the socket, the PnP cap will
be automatically released from
the load plate when the lever
locks. Remove the cap. Repeat
steps to install a second CPU if
desired.
