1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 21.

2. Locate the processor socket and raise the socket lever completely.

3. Install the processor so that the corner with the gold triangle marking (A) is aligned with the

corner where the lever is attached to the socket (see Figure 4).

4. Lower the lever to its original position.

The desktop board has an integrated processor fan heatsink retention mechanism (RM). For
