Once aligned, carefully lower the CPU
6.
straight down to the socket. (Do not
drop the CPU on the socket. Do not
move the CPU horizontally or verti-
cally. Do not rub the CPU against the
surface or against any pins of the
socket to avoid damage to the CPU or
the socket.)
With the CPU inside the socket, inspect
7.
the four corners of the CPU to make
sure that the CPU is properly installed.
Use your thumb to gently push the
8.
load lever down to the lever lock.
If the CPU is properly installed into the
9.
socket, the plastic PnP cap will be auto-
matically released from the load plate
when the load lever is pushed in the
lever lock. Remove the PnP cap from
the motherboard.
Warning
: Please save the plastic
PnP cap. The motherboard must be
shipped with the PnP cap properly
installed to protect the CPU socket
pins. Shipment without the PnP cap
properly installed will cause dam-
age to the socket pins.
