Cpu Installation - MSI MS-98L2 Manual

CPU Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on
the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal
paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.
1. Open the load lever and remove
the plastic cap.
3. After confirming the CPU direc-
tion for correct mating, put down
the CPU in the socket housing
frame. Be sure to grasp on the
edge of the CPU base. Note that
the alignment keys are matched.

pure vertical motion and reinstall.
