Step 2: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:
1.Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
2.The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent irreparable damage.
3.If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
4.Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan.
5.Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent damage will result.
6.Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Memory, Cards… etc.

Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a cut edge on the CPU upper corner . Insert the CPU into the
socket. (Do not force the CPU into the socket.) Then move the socket lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the CPU.
Step 2-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation
