This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 462 to install AMD Socket A CPU. The CPU you bought should have a kit of heatsink and cooling fan along with. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed for Socket A.
Please refer to the figure shown here to install CPU and heatsink. (For reference only. Your Heatsink & Fan Assembly may not be exactly the same as this one.)
1.Locate the Socket 462 on this motherboard. Pull the CPU release lever sideways to unlatch and then raise it all the way up.
2.Align the CPU notch to the socket notch for CPU. Drop the processor with its pin side down into the CPU socket. Do not use extra force to insert CPU; it only fit in one direction. Close the CPU release lever.
3.Remove the plastic film adhesive on the heatsink. Make sure the stepped portion of the heatsink is facing toward the end of the socket that reads “Socket 462”. Put the heatsink faces down onto the processor until it covers the processor completely.
4.Push down the short end of the retaining clip first to lock up with the center lug at the bottom of the socket.
5.Use a screwdriver to insert into the slot at the long end of the retaining clip. Push the clip downward to lock up with the center lug at the top of the socket. The heatsink & fan assembly is now firmly attached on the CPU socket.
6.Attach the fan connector of Heatsink & Fan Assembly with the fan connector on the motherboard.
ATTENTION: Do not forget to set the correct bus frequency and multiple for your processor.
