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

This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 478 to install Intel® Pentium® 4 processor. The processor you bought should include a heatsink and cooling fan kit along with. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed for Pentium® 4 Socket 478. Please refer to figure 2-3 to install the processor.

1.Locate the Socket 478. Fasten the heatsink supporting-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 processor socket lever sideways away from the socket and then upwards to 90 degrees. Insert the processor with the correct orientation. Do not use extra force to insert processor; it only fits in one orientation. Push down the socket lever while holding down the processor.

3.Put the heatsink face down onto the processor until it completely covers the processor.

4.Put the heatsink supporting-cover onto the heatsink. Make sure all four locking clasps on each side of the supporting cover reach in the locking holes.

5.Push down the retaining clip on both sides of the supporting cover to lock together with the supporting base. Watch the direction you push down on the clip.

6.The heatsink supporting cover and base should now firmly lock together with the heatsink inside.

Attention

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