1.11 Installing the CPU
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the CPU. As showing in
the picture as bellow, loose the screw rst before inserting the CPU.
Place the CPU into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponding with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the CPU
has slide into the socket, lock the screw.
Make sure that heat sink of the CPU top surface is in complete contact to
avoid the CPU overheating problem.
If not, it would cause your system or CPU to be hanged, unstable, damaged.

1.12 Installing the Memory
To install the Memory module, locate the Memory DIMM slot on the board and
perform as below:
1. Hold the Memory module so that the key of the Memory module align
with those on the Memory DIMM slot.
2. Gently push the Memory module in an upright position and a right way until
the clips of the DIMM slot close to lock the Memory module in place, when
the Memory module touches the bottom of the DIMM slot.
3. To remove the Memory module, just pressing the clips of DIMM slot with
both hands.

JBAT1: Clear CMOS Setting (9)
If the board refuses to boot due to inappropriate CMOS settings, here is how
to proceed to clear (reset) the CMOS to its default values.
Connector type: 2.54 mm pitch 1x3-pin headers
Pin Mode
1-2 Keep CMOS (Default)
23 1
2-3 Clear CMOS
23 1
You may need to clear the CMOS if your system cannot boot up because you
forgot your password, the CPU clock setup is incorrect, or the CMOS settings
need to be reset to default values after the system BIOS has been updated.
Refer to the following solutions to reset your CMOS setting:
Solution A:
1. Power off the system and disconnect the power cable.
2. Place a shunt to short pin 1 and pin 2 of JBAT1 for ve seconds.
3. Place the shunt back to pin 2 and pin 3 of JBAT1.
4. Power on the system.
Solution B:
If the CPU Clock setup is incorrect, you may not be able to boot up. In this
case, follow these instructions:
1. Turn the system off, then on again. The CPU will automatically boot up
using standard parameters.
2. As the system boots, enter BIOS and set up the CPU clock.
Note:
If you are unable to enter BIOS setup, turn the system on and off a few
times.
