socket: lift the lever completely
as shown on the picture on the
right; otherwise, you will dam-
age the CPU socket when power
is applied. (Install CPU1 first.)
2. Insert the CPU in the socket,
making sure that pin 1 of the
CPU aligns with pin 1 of the
socket (both corners are marked
with a triangle). When using
only one CPU, install it into CPU
socket #1 (Socket #2 is auto-
matically disabled if only one
CPU is used).
3. Press the lever down until you
hear the click, so you can be
sure that the CPU is securely in-
stalled in the CPU socket.
