question about installing cpu to mobo

I have an e6750 and a gigabyte p35 mobo. When I install the cpu into the socket on the mobo, am I suppose to hear a click or anything to ensure that its been secured? In other words, when I put it in, will it be loose and only stay secured when I lock it with the pin and the cover on the mobo? thanks in advance

It won't click.
Follow the HARDWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS in your manual.

It will be loose until the retention cover is lowered and locked down with the locking lever. Here's a guide.
