Procedure

1. Ensure that the right-release lever is fully extended in the open position.
   CAUTION: You must place the processor correctly in the processor socket to avoid damage to the processor.
2. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1 corner of the processor socket, and then place the processor in the processor socket.
   NOTE: The pin-1 corner of the processor has a triangle that aligns with the triangle on the pin-1 corner on the processor socket. When the processor is properly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners of the processor are higher than the others, the processor is not seated properly.
