Warning:
You can only install the
CPU inside the socket in one direc-
tion. 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 it
may damage your CPU. Instead,
open the load plate again to make
sure that the CPU is aligned prop-
erly.
