Step 3:
Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and
make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any
debris is found, remove it with compressed air.
Step 4:
Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing
the CPU socket.
WARNING:
DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling
the CPU, only hold it on the sides.
Step 5:
Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut
edge on the CPU socket.
Step 6:
Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches
on the CPU. Carefully match the two orientation notches on the
CPU with the socket alignment keys.
Step 7:
Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU
pins are properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket
smoothly. See Figure 4-3.
