3. Adjust the elastomer to sit into the alignment plate cavity.
4. Place BGA package (solder ball side down) into the socket. NOTE: BGA orientation on target PCB is critical.
5. Place the compession plate (if required*) on top of the BGA package.
6. Install the socket top assembly with the hardware provided (four 0-80 screws).
7. Turn the compression screw clockwise, until it makes contact with the compression plate or the BGA package.
