2. Locate pin 1 (notch A), which is the triangle on the substrate of the CPU. Also,
locate notch B and notch C on the CPU as shown below.
3. Align pin 1 (the triangle on the substrate) of the CPU with pin 1 (the triangle) of the
narrow processor clip. Once they are aligned, carefully insert the CPU into the
processor clip by sliding notch B of the CPU into notch B of the processor clip, and
sliding notch C of the CPU into notch C of the processor clip.
