3.6.1Installing the CPU and Terminator

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1.Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard.

2.Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100° angle.

3.Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket.

4.Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

CAUTION! The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins.

5.When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the socket indicating that it is locked.

6.Install a CPU heatsink. Refer to the documentation that came with the heatsink.

7.Install the CPU terminator the same way as you would install a CPU. The figure on the right shows an installed CPU terminator.

CAUTION! DO NOT install a heatsink on the terminator! It will damage the motherboard!
