CPU Socket-A Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket.
Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.
2. On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will have a
cut-corner on the rectangular pattern of pin holes. Match the dot on the CPU with the
pin-1
receptor
on the socket and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU
should be flush with the face of the socket.
