Hardware Installation Process

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 2- Install mem ory modules

Step 3- Install expansion cards

Step 4 - Install I/O Peripherals Cables

Step 4 Step 1 Step 2

Step 4

Step 4

Step 3

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:

1 .

Please m ake sure the CPU type is supported by the m otherboard.

2 .

The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in perm anent

 

irreparable damage.

3 .

If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause im proper

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 . Perm anent damage will result.

6 . Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications. We don't recomm end 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.
