How to setup Jumper
The illustration shows how jumpers are setup.When the Jumper cap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin 1and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.
Jumperclose Jumperopen Pin1-2close
CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever.
Step4: Put the CPU fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the
retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on
the slot such that the notch on the DIMM
matches the break on the slot.
2. Insert the DIMM firmly and vertically into
the slot until the retaining chip snap back in
place and the Dimm is properly seated.

Cómo instalar un Puente
La ilustración muestra cómo instalar un puente. Cuando el Jumper Cap está ubicado en
los contactos, el puente está en “close”. Si no hay Jumper Cap ubicado en los contactos,
el puente está en ”open”. La siguiente ilustración muestra un contacto 3 en el que los
contactos 1 y 2 están “close” cuando el Jumper Cap está ubicado en los dos contactos.
Puente open Puente close Contacto 1-2 close
Instalación de la CPU
Paso 1: Empuje la palanca hacia afuera del socket y levante la palanca hasta un ángulo de
90 grados.
Paso 2: Fíjese por el punto blanco o márgen cortado. El punto blanco o márgen cortado
debería apuntar hacia el pivote de la palanca. La CPU solamente se fijará en
una sola correcta orientación.
Paso 3: Tome el CPU firmemente hacia abajo, y cierre la palanca para completar la
instalación.
Paso 4: Ponga el ventilador de la CPU en el CPU y asegúrelo. Conecte el cable de
corriente del ventilador de la CPU al JCFAN1. Ésto completa la instalación.
