1-3 Installation of the CPU and Fan Heat Sink

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of the CPU.

3.Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and fan heat sink.

4.Please make sure the fan heat sink is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.

5.Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifica- tions since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hard- ware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-3-1 Installation of the CPU

Check the processor pins to see that none are bent. Move the socket lever to the unlocked position as shown in Figure 1.(90o to the plane of the motherboard) prior to inserting the processor. The pin 1 location is designated on the processor by a copper triangle that matches up to a triangle on the socket as shown in Figure 2. Align the processor to the socket and gently lower it into place. Do not force the processor into the socket.

Fig.2

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.
