Step 1: Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
possible to the socket.
Step 2: Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath
the processor to ensure that the processor' s installed correctly.
Step 3: Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until
the processor sits flush with the socket.
Step 4: Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place. The
installation is finished.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.

below the processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.
