INSTALLATIONS Installing the CPU The I815E board supports a Socket 370 processor socket for Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors. The Socket 370 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the processor. Raise this lever to about a 90° angle to allow the insertion of the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, return t
