Installing the CPU
The MI961F board supports an LGA1155 Socket (shown below) for 2nd
generation Intel®Core™ processor family with LGA1155 packing.
To installthe CPU, unlock first the socket bypressing the lever sideways,
then lift it up to a 90-degree. Then, position the CPU above the socket
such that the CPU corner aligns with the gold triangle matching the
socket corner with a small triangle. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket and push down the lever to secure the CPU. Then, install the heat
sink and fan.
NOTE:
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.

Installing the Memory
The MI961F board supports four DDR3 memory socket for a maximum
total memory of 16GB in DDR3 DIMM memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligned
with that on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3 module in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR3 module in place when the DDR3
module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR3 module, press the clips with both hands.
