The LGA1155 processor socket comes with a cover to protect the processor. Please
install the processor into the CPU socket step by step as below:
Step1 Opening the socket:
 Disengage load lever by releasing down and out on the hook. This will clear
retention tab.
 Rotate load lever to open position at approximately 135°.
 Rotate load plate to open position at approximately 150°.
Note: Apply pressure to corner with right-hand thumb when opening or closing load
lever - otherwise lever will bounce back (as a mouse trap) causing bent
contacts.
Step2 Removing the socket protective cover:
 Place thumb against the front edge of the protective cover and rest index finger on
the rear grip to maintain control of the cover.
 Lift the front edge of the protective cover to disengage from the socket. Keep
control of the cover by holding the rear grip with index finger.
 Lift protective cover away from the socket, being careful not to touch the electrical
contacts.
Note: Vertical removal is NOT recommended, as it requires higher force and can lead
to socket contact damage.
