EVGA Z68/P67 Motherboard 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 socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket. Pull the socket lever back and the load plate will automatically lift. There is a protective socket cover within the CPU socket to protect the socket when there is no CPU installed. Remove the protective socket cover from the CPU Socket. Note: After removing the CPU socket cover, it is recommended that you keep it in case you need to remove the CPU so for any reason you can replace the cover to avoid damaging the CPU socket pins.
