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.
