2-2. Install Pentium® 4 CPU and Heatsink Supporting-Base

This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 478 to install Intel® Pentium® 4 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 Pentium® 4 Socket 478.

1.Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard. Fasten the Retention Module Base onto the motherboard.

ATTENTION: If you are using chassis specially designed for Pentium® 4, please pay attention to the location of metal studs or spacers if they are already installed on the chassis. Be careful not let the metal studs or spacers contact the printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB.

2.Pull the CPU socket lever sideways away from the socket and then upwards to 90 degree. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. Do not use extra force to insert CPU; it only fits in one orientation. Close down the socket lever while holding down the CPU.

3.Put the heatsink faces down onto the CPU until it completely covers the CPU.

4.Put the Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly onto the heatsink. Make sure all the four Retention Locks at each side of the Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly snap into the Retention Holes.

5.Push down the Retention Lock at both sides of the Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly to lock up together with the Retention Module Base.

6.The Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly and Retention Module Base should now

firmly lock up with each other with the heatsink inside.

ATTENTION: Do not forget to set the correct bus frequency and multiple for your processor.
