2. Gently push down the load lever to release and lift it, then lift the load plate to open it
completely.
3. Use your thumb and your index finger to hold the CPU. Align the small triangle maker
and notches on the CPU to the corresponding triangle maker and notches on the CPU
load bracket. Once aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do
not drop the CPU on the socket, or move it horizontally or vertically.)
Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction. Make sure that it
is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the load plate. If it does not 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.
Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damaging
the CPU or the socket.
4. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect all the corners to make sure it is properly
installed.
