2.4.2 Installing the CPU
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket
on the motherboard.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing
the lever sideways, then lift it up
to a 90°-100° angle.
Make sure that the socket lever
is lifted up to a 90°-100° angle,
otherwise the CPU does not fit
in completely.
3. Position the CPU above the
socket such that its marked
corner matches the base of the
socket lever.
4. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
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!
5. When the CPU is in place, push
down the socket lever to secure
the CPU. The lever clicks on the
side tab to indicate that it is
locked.
