socket until it points straight up. With the lever raised, lift open the silver CPU
retention plate.

CPU socket with pin 1 of the CPU. Both are marked with a triangle. Align pin 1 of the
CPU with pin 1 of the socket.
WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the
processor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before
adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
