Central Processing Unit (CPU) CPU Orientation A CPU has a mark (usually a notch or a gold mark) on one corner to help you identify the proper orientation and enable you to correctly install the CPU. Match the marked corner of the CPU with the marked corner on the socket to avoid damaging the CPU pins. Gold Mark CPU Installation (1) Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°100° angle. See Figure 1. Figure 1 (2) Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket. See Figure 2. Figure 2 (3) Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. (4) When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the socket indicating that it is locked. Gold Mark Marked Corner IMPORTANT The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins. 26 Chapter 3: Hardware Setup
