CPU Processor Installation

This mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors using a Socket 478. Before building your system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor installation procedures. http://www.intel.com

CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:

1.Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket. Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.

2.On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will be near the end of the lever on the socket. Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.

3.Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.

4.Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert It onto the CPUFAN adapter.

Attention: Before starting the system

Please check the installation completely before starting the system. Verify that the heatsink is properly installed and make sure the CPU fan is working. Overheating can damage the CPU and other sensitive components.
