B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the APU into the motherboard APU socket.
•
Before installing the APU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet to prevent damage to the APU.
•
Do not force the APU into the APU socket. The APU cannot it in if oriented incorrectly. Adjust the
APU orientation if this occurs.
Step 1:
Completely lift up the APU socket locking lever.
Step 2:
Align the APU pin one (small triangle marking) with the triangle mark
on the APU socket and gently insert the APU into the socket. Make
sure that the APU pins it perfectly into their holes.
Once the APU is positioned into its socket, place one inger down on
the middle of the APU, lowering the locking lever and latching it into
the fully locked position.
