CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478

1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure to
raise the lever up to a 90-de-
gree angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point to-
wards the lever pivot. The
CPU can only fit in the cor-
rect orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completely embedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation pro-
cedures may cause permanent
damages to your mainboard.
5. Press the CPU down firmly
into the socket and close the
lever. As the CPU is likely to
move 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 prop-
erly and completely embed-
ded into the socket.
