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:
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.
These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan wiring and plug may be
different according to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while
matching the black wire to pin#1.
