The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors
and may not be an exact representation of the processors you have.
Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
to the socket.
Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the
processor to ensure that the processor's installed correctly.
Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the
processor sits flush with the socket.
Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
Your processor is installed.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.
Take care when installing processors as they have very fragile connector pins
below the processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Retention Frame Installation
After you are done installing the processor(s), you should proceed to installing
the retention frame and heatsink. The CPU heatsink will ensure that the
processors do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for
as long as you own them. Overheated processors are also dangerous to the
health of the motherboard.
