As long as it's in the correct position (it should move from side-to-side a very small amount), and as long as you have the arrow correctly aligned, then you should be OK to clamp it down. The hinged part that goes over the chip never closes completely until you pull the lever over. The idea is that the leverage applied when you push it closed ensures a good connection. JW |

The Socket 775 CPU has no pins, just tiny pads on the bottom of the chip carrier. When the locking lever is closed, the retaining plate presses the CPU down on the array of sharp points in the motherboard socket to make good contact with the pads on the CPU. There is no firm contact between the CPU and the socket UNTIL the locking lever is latched (meaning that if you place the CPU in the socket, do NOT latch the lever, then turn the motherboard upside down, the CPU will fall out.) This is unlike the Intel 478 and 473 pin CPUs that have an array of pins that firmly inserts into a socket on the motherboard; the CPU will remain in firm contact with the socket even if the locking lever is latched, even if the motherboard is turned upside down. Carefully study installation instructions and if you feel that something is not just right, take the system into a good computer repair shop for installation rather than risk damaging the motherboard or CPU. Below is the URL at the Intel website that contains information for installing a Socket 775 Intel CPU http://www3.intel.com/cd/channel/res...orinstallation . Below is the URL for installation directions that includes lots of pictures http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2231 .

Phil Weldon The first time I installed a S-775 I was a bit leary about the force I needed to close and lock it in place. I had to check and double check the Intel site above to make sure I had everything right. Ed |
