CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSIN UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 2: Look for the black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on
CPU should point wards this black cut edge. The CPU will fit
only in the correct orientation.
Step 2-1:

ecial Notice:
Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make
good preservation for future use. When the CPU
is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty
socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

Step 2-2:
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete
the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU
FAN power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the
installation.
