2. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU can only
fit in the correct orientation.

while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of
the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.
