EVGA X79 Motherboard Preparing the Motherboard Installing the CPU Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom of the processor. Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard: Unhook the left socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket. Unhook the right socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket. Gently press the left socket lever and the load plate will lift from the socket. Open the load plate and make sure not to damage any of the pins inside of the socket. Note: After removing the CPU socket cover, it is recommended to store it in case you ever need to transport your motherboard. If you ever remove the CPU, it is highly recommended to reinstall the socket cover. 12
