Flip up the socket lever and push it all the way to the other side. Make sure that the socket lever is pushed back all the way, otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely. 2. Position the CPU above the socket as shown. 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU! 4. Carefully push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked. 5. Apply the thermal grease to the top of the CPU. This thermal grease should come with the CPU package. 6.
