Installing the Processor
 Unpack the CPU and identify the pin 1 corner of the CPU.
 Match pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the CPU socket. The pin 1 corner of the CPU
socket is designated by a small triangle printed on the motherboard.
 Carefully insert the CPU into the CPU socket and move the metal arm downward
to replace it in its original position. Change any jumper settings as detailed in the
manual.
If a heat sink is attached and covers the top of the CPU, identify the pin 1 corner by
turning the CPU over. Locate the small gold finger that extends from one corner of
the large central square portion of the CPU. The gold finger points towards pin 1,
which is also uniquely identified by a square pad.
