TIP: When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to seat
properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard, place
it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory installation.
Note: You MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system
hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device

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.
1. Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
possible to the socket.
2. Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor
to ensure that the processor's installed correctly.
3. Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sits flush with the socket.
4. Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
5. Your processor is installed.
Take care when installing the processor as it has very fragile connector pins below the
processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly.
