NOTICE:

To avoid damage, ensure that the processor aligns properly with the

socket, and do not use excessive force when you press the processor into the
socket.

5 Press the processor lightly into the socket until it is fully seated.
6 Lower the processor cover.

NOTE:

the retention latch when the release lever is rotated and secured underneath the
retention hook.

Heat Sink/Fan Assembly" on page 101).
