3. Position the processor above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of
the processor is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Lower the
processor until the pins are inserted properly in their
corresponding holes. Remember that very little force is needed
to install the processor. If the processor is not easily inserted,
verify whether or not pin 1 of the processor is aligned with pin
1 of the socket. Applying too much pressure can damage the
processor or the socket.
4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top
plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as pressure
starts to secure the processor in the socket. This is normal and
will not damage the processor. However, if the handle is not
completely closed, damage to the processor and/or system
board may result.
