As opposed to the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets that are common today, Upgradeware's adapter is a module that offers no ease-of-use, because the processor has to be inserted into the adapter along with all of its 462 pins. Do this carefully, because if you don't apply even pressure to all sides when inserting the CPU into the socket, then it might bend - this can result in breaking the circuitry and causing the CPU to die a premature death.
