CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step 2: Look for the black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on CPU

should point forwards this black cut edge. The CPU will fit only in

the correct orientation.
