3. Install the Processor.
a) Remove the processor from its package.
b) Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the CPU, taking care not to touch any CPU
contacts (see letter A).
c) Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts match the four orientation posts on
the socket (see letter B). Note the location of a gold key at the corner of the processor (see letter C).
Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.
Caution: The pins inside the CPU socket are extremely sensitive. Other than the CPU, no object should make
contact with the pins inside the CPU socket. A damaged CPU socket pin may render the socket inoperable,
and will produce erroneous CPU or other system errors if used.
Note: The underside of the processor has components that may damage the socket pins if installed
improperly. The processor must align correctly with the socket opening before installation. DO NOT DROP the
processor into the socket.
Note: When possible, a CPU insertion tool should be used when installing the CPU.
