2. Align the gold triangle at the upper-right corner of the
CPU with the triangular mark at the upper-right corner of
the socket. Gently place the CPU into the socket. It
should drop into the socket without having to apply any
downward force.
You should not have to press down on the processor. If the
processor does not drop completely into the socket, make
CAUTION:
sure the CPU lock screw is fully turned to the unlocked
position.
