WARNING:
When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the
pins at the bottom of the CPU.
Step 1: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the
socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with
compressed air.
Step 2: Open the CPU socket lever. Disengage the load lever by moving the lever
slightly outward to clear the retention tab. Rotate the load lever to a fully open
position. See Figure 5-1.
Step 3: Orientate the CPU properly. Make sure the IHS (Integrated Heat Sink) side is
facing upward. See Figure 5-1.
Step 4: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the CPU
socket. See Figure 5-1.
