2.1 CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90

angle.

Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket so that the CPU corner

with the golden triangle matches the small triangle on the socket’s

corner.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it ts in place.

The CPU ts only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force

the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it rmly on the socket while you

push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks

on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary

to install a compatible heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat.

You also need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and

the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the

CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good con-

tact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU FAN

connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 2, No. 5 or CPU_FAN2, see

Page 2, No. 6). For proper installation, please kindly refer to the

instruction manual of the CPU fan and the heatsink.
