CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors using a Socket 775. Before building your
system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor installation procedures.

CPU Socket 775 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket 775 on your
mainboard and nudge the lever away from
the socket as shown. Then lift the lever to a
140-degree angle (A). Next, lift up the iron
cover (B).
2. There are 2 distinctive marks located
near the corners of the socket on the same
side as the lever as shown (C). Match these
marks with the marks on the CPU and
carefully lower the CPU down onto the
socket (D).
3. Replace the iron cover and then lower
the lever until it snaps back into position
(E). This will lock down the CPU (F).
4. Smear thermal grease on the top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan
onto the CPU/CPU socket and secure it using the attachments or
screws provided on the fan. Finally, attach the fan power cable to
the CPUFAN adapter.
Attention: DO NOT touch the pins on the socket
(the pins are sensitive and can be
easily damaged). Also, make sure that you have completed all of the installation steps
before starting the system. Finally, double-check that the heatsink is properly installed
and make sure that the CPU fan power cable is securely attached (cooling problems can
cause overheating, leading to damage to the CPU and other sensitive components).
