Warning: You can only in-
stall 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.
