3.
There is a lever on the side of the socket. First push this lever sideways and then lift
it to a 90-degree angle.
4.
Insert the CPU into the Socket. Please make sure that Pin 1 for the CPU is inserted
into Pin 1 of the Socket.
4. When the CPU is installed correctly push the lever back into place.
