Pin 1 on the CPU is aligned with Pin 1 on the ZIF socket.
Zero Insertion Force (a socket normally used with electronic chips so they dont have to be soldered - the heat can damage them)
A CPU socket is a mechanical connection. Its main function is to serve as a connection that holds the CPU and allows it to communicate with the motherboard.

ZIF
ZIF is used on almost all modern processors. You need to find out which socket it uses.
Zero insertion force socket
You can connect a PGA (Pin Grid Array) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) component to a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. These components have pins on the package that can easily slide into the ZIF socket without requiring any force for insertion.
ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)
ZIF or "Zero Insertion Force" sockets allow the socket to open to receive the pin without pressure and then close around the pin to give a good, solid connection.

PGA
Zero Insertion Force socket, the ZIF socket was designed by Intel and includes a small lever to insert and remove the computer processor.
Pin 1 on the CPU is aligned with Pin 1 on the ZIF socket.
The lever doesn't lift the processor out of the socket; it takes the shearing force off of the processor pins inside of the holes, so that the processor can be lifted out, or inserted, with no pressure necessary. When you lower the lever on a ZIF socket, the pins are clamped down on under the socket plastic housing.
