Attention

Secure the socket backplate in one of the 2 ways shown below depending on the status of your motherboard.

    Is the motherboard outside of the case?

  • Yes
  • No

To support the socket backplate, place it on a flat, horizontal surface, like a thick padding (e.g., the packaging inner card)

Open the Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM), align and place the CPU into the socket

Attention

Keep the removed parts for reassembly in the future. The ILM must be reinstalled if the motherboard is to be returned for service or warranty.

Attention

Align the CPU Contact Frame with the top edge of the CPU. The gap (highlighted in red) is made to allow the CPU Contact Frame to fit with future CPUs.

Warning

Loosely engage 2 turns on all 4 screws before tightening them in a cross pattern evenly to prevent damaging the CPU in the process.

The thick padding can be removed after the CPU Contact Frame is tightened.

Apply painter’s tape on the backside of the motherboard to secure the socket backplate. Lay the PC case flat on a horizontal surface.
