Note:
You can only install the CPU in one direction. Make sure it is properly inserted into
the socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may
damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check that the CPU is
properly aligned.
4. Carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the
socket, or move it horizontally or vertically to avoid damaging the CPU or socket.
Inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.
