Preparing the Motherboard 
Installing the CPU 
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold 
the processor only by the edges and do not 
touch the bottom of the processor. 
Use the following procedure to install the CPU 
onto the motherboard: 
Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and 
away from the socket. 
 Pull the socket lever back and the load plate will 
automatically lift. There is a protective 
socket cover within the CPU socket to 
protect the socket when there is no CPU 
installed. 
Remove the protective socket cover from the 
CPU Socket. 
Note:  After removing the CPU socket cover, it is recommended that you keep it 
in case you need to remove the CPU so for any reason you can replace 
the cover to avoid damaging the CPU socket pins.
