Step 3. Insert the MCU into the socket
Note:
The Programming Adapter has a diagram of the MCU that shows the proper orientation of the MCU in the socket. The
circle in the diagram corresponds to the circle on the top-side of the package. Please check the orientation of the device
before inserting into the socket. Inserting the device incorrectly into the socket could damage the device.
Figure 7. Socket Orientation
The procedure for inserting the device into the socket depends on the type of socket (Clam-Shell, Top-Loader, or
ZIF).
