Processor Support

The P4SC8 has a single 478-pin microPGA socket, which supports Intel Pentium 4 or Celeron processors.

1.Lift the lever on the CPU socket.

2.Install the CPU in the socket. Make sure that Pin 1 of the CPU is seated on Pin 1 of the socket (both corners are marked with a triangle).

3.Press the lever down until you

hear it *click* into the locked position.

4.Apply the proper amount of thermal com- pound to the CPU die. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU aligning its holes with those on the retention mechanism. Screw in two diago- nal screws (ie. the #1 and #2 screws) until just snug, then do the same with the remaining two screws. Finish by fully tightening all four screws (see Figure 5-4 on next page).
