2.1 Installing the CPU

In order to provide the LGA 1155 CPU

sockets more protection and make the

installation process easier, ASRock

has added a new protection cover on

top of the load plate to replace the

former PnP caps that were under the

load plate. For the installation of Intel

1155-Pin CPUs with the new protection

cover, please follow the steps below.

Before you insert the 1155-Pin CPU into the socket, please

check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there are any bent

pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the

socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be

seriously damaged.

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengage the lever by pressing

it down and sliding it out of the

hook. You do not have to remove

the protection cover.

Step 1-2. Keep the lever positioned at

about 135 degrees in order to ip

up the load plate.

Step 2. Insert the 1155-Pin CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edge which

is marked with a black line.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with the Integrat-

ed Heat Sink up. Locate Pin1 and

the two orientation key notches.
