want to work on the inside.
2. Hold the board by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or
circuitry.
3. Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that comes
with the Single Board Computer, whenever components are separated
from the system.
Replacing the Lithium Battery
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion.
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not throw lithium batteries into the trash-can. It must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.

1.7. Installing the CPU
The LGA1151 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the processor.
Please refer to the pictures step by step as below.
1. Push the lever down to unclip it and lift it.
2. Open the load plate.
3. Remove the protective cover from the load plate. Do not discard the protective
cover. Always replace the socket cover if the processor is removed from the
socket.
4.Holdprocessorwithyourthumbandindexngers,orientedasshown.Ensure
yourngersaligntothesocketcutouts.Alignthenotcheswiththesocket.
Lower the processor straight down without tilting or sliding the processor in
the socket.
5. Close the load plate. Pressing down on the load plate, close and engage
the socket lever.
