[* black] Next you will install the IC socket, or integrated circuit socket. IC sockets connect the brains of a circuit board (the CPU) to the connections on the board itself. It allows the CPU to be easily replaced without the risk of damage associated with soldering. | |
- | [* black] Stick the eight leads of the IC socket through the holes in the rectangle with "IC1" below it. Make sure that the semi-circle on the top of the socket lines up with the semi-circle |
+ | [* black] Stick the eight leads of the IC socket through the holes in the rectangle with "IC1" below it. Make sure that the semi-circle on the top of the socket lines up with the semi-circle printed on the edge of the rectangle on the circuit board. |
