Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the 604-pin ZIF sockets
on the motherboard. Flip up the
socket lever and push it all the
way to the other side.
Make sure that the socket
lever is pushed back all the
way, otherwise the CPU
does not fit in completely.

(gold arrow)
Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and
severely damage the CPU!
2. Position the CPU above the
socket as shown.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
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. Carefully push down the socket
lever to secure the CPU. The
lever clicks on the side tab to
indicate that it is locked.
5. Apply the thermal interface
material (thermal grease) to the
top of the CPU. This thermal
grease should come with the
CPU package.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if you wish to
install a second CPU.
