Before the CPU is installed, the mainboard must be placed on a flat
surface. You should be able to insert the CPU with minimal, but firm,
pressure. Do not press down hard on the CPU.
In Figure 2-6, you can see the CPU and the ZIF socket. Notice that the arm of
the ZIF socket is up. When this arm is up, the CPU is unlocked from the socket
and allows you to remove or install a CPU. As the ZIF socket is keyed to the
processor that you are using, you will only be able to install the CPU one way,
thus eliminating the chance for error.
Pin 1 on the CPU is denoted by a
small dot on one of the corners and
Pin 1 on the ZIF socket is denoted

board. Check with your vendor or
manufacturer for proper voltage
selection.
Push down lightly on the CPU, and
lower the arm on the ZIF socket to

cooling options.
Locate the cooling fan connector (e.g.
CPU Fan, J4) on the motherboard. Plug
the CPU's cooling fan cable into the cool-
ing fan connector on the board. There
