Align the CPU key that is the semi-circle cutouts against the socket keys. 4. 
Once aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down to the socket. (Do not 
drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically.
Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to 
avoid damage to the CPU or the socket.)
With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make 
sure that the CPU is properly installed.
Use your thumb to gently push the load lever down to the lever lock.5. 
Save the plastic PnP cap. The motherboard must be shipped with the PnP 
cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment without the 
PnP cap properly installed will cause damage to the socket pins.
CPU properly 
installed
Load lever locked 
into place.
Warning: The CPU will only seat inside the socket in one direction. Make 
sure it is properly inserted 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.
