2. Press the lever sideways to unlock the
socket, then lift it up to a 90°-100° angle.
Ensure that the socket lever is lifted up to a 90°-100° angle; otherwise, the APU will not fit

corner with the gold triangle matches the socket corner
with a small triangle.
4. Carefully insert the APU into the socket until it fits in place.
The APU fits only in one correct orientation.
DO NOT force the APU into the socket to
prevent bending the pins and damaging the
APU!
