AMD AM2 Socket

1. Locate the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to 90º angle. Otherwise, the CPU will
not fit in completely.
3. Position the CPU above the socket
such that the CPU corner with the
gold triangle matches the socket
corner with a small triangle.
Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the
socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
