Socket - Unlocked Position
When installing the CPU module, use care to insert all processor pins into the socket simultaneously. The
two connectors must be parallel as the pins are inserted in to the sockets.
When pins are bent during installation, the damage usually occurs at a corner of the
connector.
Do not allow the pins at one corner of the connectors to be joined before the remaining pins
enter the socket. Careful handling is required to protect the pins during installation.
