CPU Installation
The CPU is composed of several pins that can easily be bent during installation, causing
permanent damage to the processor. It is therefore very important that you make sure the
pins are straight before installing the CPU onto the PGA socket located on your
motherboard (refer to layout for exact location). To properly align the CPU with the socket
align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the CPU PGA socket as demonstrated below.

Turn off the power whenever installing or removing any CPU,
connector, memory module or add-on cards. Before turning on the
power, make sure that all of these parts are secured.
