lever sideways, then lift it up to a

90º- 100º angle.

The AM2 socket has a different pinout from the 940-pin socket designed for the

AMD Opteron™ processor. Make sure you use a CPU is designed for the AM2

socket. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into

the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the
