A gold-colored triangle is marked one edge of the CPU. Please align this edge with the socket edge closest to the CPU lever. Gently place the CPU into position making sure that the CPU pins fit perfectly into their holes.

Once the CPU is positioned into it socket, place one finger down on the middle of the CPU and gently press the metal lever back into its original position.

Please use extra care when installing the CPU. The CPU will not fit if positioned incorrectly. Rather than applying force, please change the positioning of the CPU.

1-3-2 Installation of the Heatsink

Fig.1

Before installing the heat sink, please first add an even layer of heat sink paste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the heat sink components (Please refer to the heat sink manual for detailed installation instructions).

Fig.2

Please connect the heat sink power connector to the CPU_FAN connector located on the motherboard so that the heat sink can properly function to prevent CPU overheating.

The heat sink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat sink paste. To prevent such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat sink paste be used for heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the heat sink.
