CPU INSTALLATION
Please follow below steps to install the CPU.
1. Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the
CPU. Pull the lever up and away from the socket until it is at a 90 degree angle
to the motherboard.
2. Look for the gold arrow on the CPU. The gold arrow should point away from
the lever pivot. The CPU can only sit properly in the socket in the correct
orientation.
3. If the CPU is correctly seated, the pins should be completely embedded in
the socket and can not be seen (Please note that any deviation from the correct
installation procedures may cause permanent damage to your motherboard).
