2. Once it is aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do
not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or verti-
cally.)
Warning: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one
direction. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket
before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not
force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate
again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
