Processor Installation
The processor should be installed carefully. Make sure you are wearing an
antistatic strap and handle the processor as little as possible.
Follow these instructions to install your processor:
1. Place the PCB such that the socket cam side faces you. Make sure the
lever hook is on your top-left side.
2. Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, then pull it to the
left side to clear the retention tab.
3. Rotate the lever to a fully open position.
4. Lift the load plate to a fully open position.
5. Locate the Pin 1 indicator of the package. Align the package with the
socket and carefully insert the package into the socket with vertical motion
only. Vertically check if the CPU is seated well in the socket housing. If not,
take out the CPU, with vertical motion only, and repeat the above steps.
