Installing The Cpu - Asus AW1500-S5 User Manual

2.3.2 Installing the CPU

If you are installing only one CPU, install in CPU socket 1.
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the 604-pin ZIF sockets on
the motherboard. Unlock the
socket by pressing the lever
sideways, then lift it up to at least
115° angle.
Make sure that the socket
lever is lifted up to at least
115° angle, otherwise the CPU
does not fit in completely.
2. Position the CPU above the
socket as shown.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one
correct orientation. DO NOT
force the CPU into the socket
to prevent bending the pins
and damaging the CPU!
4. When the CPU is in place, press it
firmly on the socket while you
push down the socket lever to
secure the CPU. The lever clicks
on the side tab to indicate that it is
locked.
