10. Lift the socket locking-lever. (Pull it out slightly, and then lift up.)
Warning: Do not apply voltage until the heatsink is fully installed. If voltage is applied before
the heatsink is fully installed, the processor will overheat and failure will result.
11. Gently place the zero insertion force (ZIF) processor into the socket.
The AMD Opteron processor has a small triangle marking on one corner. (See Figure 11.) This
triangle corresponds to the alignment marking on the motherboard. The corner with the
triangle must be located at the corresponding corner marked on the motherboard.
Be careful not to bend the processor pins.
