How do I open the CPU socket?

[Spectate]

My motherboard is
MSI A55M-E33 FM2+. Whenever I pull the little handle back it moves a little.

That's it. Once the handle is up, you just have to lift the cpu from the socket to remove it or set it into the socket to install it. Then put the lever back in it's locked position. There is a small triangle mark on the socket and on the cpu to show the orientation for installation.

Thank you. Now I have another question. How do I insert the heatsink? The CPU by the way is A10 6790k

around the cpu you will see two little brackets it just clips on them and then you press the lever down

 

[Spectate]

Can you describe these little brackets?

They are black, with two screws holding them down. One above and below the socket. There should be corresponding clips on the heatsink.

will look like the parts circled in yellow
