1. Locate Pin 1 on the socket and
Pin 1 on the CPU as shown in the

the Pin 1 corner of the Socket.
4. Once aligned, mount the CPU

(*Warning: Do not brush
the CPU pins against the
surface of the socket or in-
stall the CPU in an angle to
prevent bending or causing
damage to the CPU pins.)

seated in the socket, use the fl at
