Preparing the Motherboard

Installing the CPU

Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges

and do not touch the bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the

CPU onto the motherboard:

Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and

away from the socket.

Put your finger on the tail of the load plate

and press down with light pressure to lift the

load plate up.

Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket

cover within the CPU socket to protect the

socket when there is no CPU installed.

Remove the protective socket cover from the

CPU Socket.

Note: Remove the process from its protective cover, making sure you hold it

only by the edges. It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever
you remove the CPU you have a safe place to store it.
