1. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor so that it points to the triangle on the ZIF socket, and insert the processor into the ZIF socket.
When the processor is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners of the processor are higher than the
others, the processor is not seated correctly.
2. Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the ZIF-socket cam screw clockwise to secure the processor to the system board.
3. Peel the backing off the thermal pad and adhere the thermal pad to the portion of the processor heat sink that covers the processor.
4. Replace the processor heat sink (see Processor Heat Sink ).
5. Update the BIOS using a flash BIOS-update program CD (see Flashing the BIOS ).
