CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Pull the lever sidewaysawayfrom the socket and thenraise
thelever up to a 90-degreeangle.
Step 2: Lookforthe whitedot/cutedge.The white dot/cut edge should
point wards the lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct
orientation.
Step 3: Hold theCPUdownfirmly,and then close theleverto complete
theinstallation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU
FAN powercable to the JCFAN1.Thiscompletesthe
