To install a processor into the processor carrier, follow the steps below:
1. Before installation, make sure the lever on the processor carrier is pressed down as

2. Hold the processor with the LGA lands (gold contacts) facing up. Locate the small, gold
triangle in the corner of the processor and the corresponding hollowed triangle on the
processor carrier. These triangles indicate pin 1. See the images below.

the latch marked A, and place the other end of processor into the latch marked B as
shown below.
4. Examine all corners to ensure that the processor is firmly attached to the carrier.
