1. Please turn off the power and

unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.

2. Pull the lever sideways away

from the socket. Make sure to
raise the lever up to a 170-de-
gree angle.

3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold

arrow should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only fit
in the correct orientation.

4. If the CPU is correctly installed,

the pins should be completely
embedded into the socket and
can not be seen. Please note
that any violation of the correct
installation procedures may
cause permanent damages to
your mainboard.

5. Press the CPU down firmly into

the socket and close the lever.
As the CPU is likely to move while
the lever is being closed, al-
ways close the lever with your
fingers pressing tightly on top of
the CPU to make sure the CPU is
properly and completely embed-
ded into the socket.
