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 contacts on the motherboard or

CPU. Any physical damage to the

motherbard pins will void the warranty.
Use the following procedure to install the

CPU onto the motherboard:

Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and

away from the socket.

Pull the socket lever back and the load plate will

automatically lift. 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 in a straight up motion.

Note: It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU

you have a safe place to store it.
