2-5 ASUS AP1710-S5 user guide
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the 604-pin ZIF sockets
on the motherboard. Unlock the
socket by pressing the lever
sideways, then lift it up to at least
115° angle.
2. Position the CPU above the
socket as shown.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to at least 115° angle,
otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU
into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!
4. When the CPU is in place, press
it firmly on the socket while you
push down the socket lever to
secure the CPU. The lever clicks
on the side tab to indicate that it
is locked.
