Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports Intel® Yonah (Intel® Core™ Duo/ T2000 Seqence) and Merom Napa Reflash (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo/ T5000 & T7000 Sequence) in PGA Package. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
Important
1.Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
2.Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
3.While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
