ASUS AW1500-I5

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.

If you are installing only one CPU, install in CPU socket 1.
