CPU Installation Procedures

1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before install-
ing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure to raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only fit in
the correct orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly installed,
the pins should be completely embed-
ded into the socket and can not be
seen.
Any violation of the correct in-
stallation procedures may cause per-
manent damages to your mainboard.
5. Press the CPU down firmly into
the socket and close the lever.
Always close the lever with
your fingers pressing tightly on top of
the CPU to make sure the CPU is prop-
erly and completely embedded into
the socket.
