3.
Position the CPU above the
socket such that the notched
corner matches the socket
corner with a triangle mark.
4.
Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one
correct orientation. DO NOT
force the CPU into the socket
to prevent bending the pins
and damaging the CPU!
5.
When the CPU is in place, push
down the socket lever to secure
the CPU. The lever clicks on the
side tab to indicate that it is
locked.
6.
Apply the thermal interface
material (thermal grease) to the
top of the CPU. This thermal
grease should come with the
CPU package.
7.
Repeat steps 1 to 5 to install a
second CPU.

To install a CPU:
1.
Unlock the socket by pressing
the lever sideways, then lift it
up to a 90°-100° angle.
Make sure that the socket
lever is pushed back all the
way; otherwise the CPU does
not fit in completely.
