2.4.2 Installing the CPU Follow these steps to install a CPU: 1. Locate the Socket 478 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 gold arrow of the CPU must be oriented toward the inner corner of the socket base nearest to the hinge of the lever handle. Gold Arrow 90 - 100 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. Install an Intel fan heatsink. 5. 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 ASUS NRL-LS motherboard user guide 2-5
