plate handle down to the handle lock and lock it.

automatically loosened from the load plate. Use your thumb and index finger
to remove the plastic cap from the socket.
Warning: You can only install the CPU inside the socket only in one direction. Make
sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the load plate. If it
doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the
load plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
