Note: 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.
