Installing and Configuring the BFG NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI Motherboard
Preparing the Motherboard
The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a CPU or memory. You need to purchase a CPU, a CPU fan assembly, and memory to complete this installation.
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU.
1.Remove the protective socket cover on the load plate which is used to protect the socket when there is no CPU installed.
2.Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
3.Lift the load plate.
4.Remove the processor from its protective cover, making sure you hold it only by the edges. It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU, you have a safe place to store it.
5.Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.
6.Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out tilting or sliding it into the socket.
| Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and |
|
| level in the socket. |
|
7. Close the load plate over the CPU and press | Align notches with notches on the CPU | |
| down while you close and engage the |
|
| socket lever. |
