Warning:
You can only install the CPU
inside the socket in one direction. Make
sure that it is properly inserted into the
CPU socket before closing the load
plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not
force it as this may damage your CPU.
Instead, open the load plate again to
make sure that the CPU is aligned
properly.
