clip. Also locate notch B and notch C on the processor clip.
2. Locate pin 1 (notch A), which is the triangle on the substrate of the CPU. Also, locate
notch B and notch C on the CPU as shown below.
3. Align pin 1 (the triangle on the substrate) of the CPU with pin 1 (the triangle) of
the narrow processor clip. Once they are aligned, carefully insert the CPU into the
processor clip by sliding notch B of the CPU into notch B of the processor clip, and
sliding notch C of the CPU into notch C of the processor clip.
4. Examine all corners of the CPU to ensure that it is properly seated on the processor
clip. Once the CPU is securely attached to the processor clip, the processor package
