Install the new processor into the processor socket. Make sure that:
■ You install the processors in order, from CPU socket 1 through CPU socket 4, with
the new processor being installed in the next available socket
■ The triangular arrow on the corner of the processor aligns with the triangular hole
on the corner of the processor socket
■ The processor is flush with the socket.

Press the processor locking lever down until it clicks into place.
Important
If you install two or more processors onto the system board, for best
performance the processors should be the same speed. Otherwise,
applications that detect processor speed could cause problems.
If only one processor is installed, it must be installed in the CPU 1
socket.
