Locate the Socket 462 and open it by pulling the lever gently sideways away from the socket. Then lift the lever upwards. The socket lever must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees). 2. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The notched corner of the CPU must be oriented toward the inner corner of the socket base nearest to the lever hinge. CAUTION! The CPU fits in one orientation and should drop easily into place. Do not force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending the pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its alignment and look for bent pins. 3. Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until it snaps into its locked position. 4. Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU. The heatsink should entirely cover the CPU. Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the socket base. With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace, no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place. CAUTION! Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a clamp-style processor fan, or else damage may occur. When mounting a heatsink onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not touch the heatsink, or else damage may occur! Refer to heatsink/CPU documentation. NOTE! Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (available only on unlocked processors) to avoid start-up problems. ASUS A7VL133-VM User's Manual 23

Then lift the lever upwards.
The socket lever
must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees).
2. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The
notched corner
of the CPU must be oriented
toward the inner corner of the socket base
nearest to the lever hinge.
CAUTION!
The CPU fits in one orientation
and should drop easily into place.
Do not force
the CPU
into the socket to avoid bending the
pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its
alignment and look for bent pins.
3. Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until it
snaps into its locked position.
4. Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU.
The heatsink should entirely cover
the CPU.
Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the
socket base.
With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace,
no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place.
