2.1. Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury, always follow basic
safety precautions.
Remember to remove power from your computer by disconnecting the AC
main source before removing or installing any equipment from/to the
computer chassis.
2.2. Preparing the Mother oard
The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a CPU or memory.
You need to purchase a CPU, a CPU fan assembly, and memory to complete
this installation.
2.2.1. Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure not to bend or break any
pins on the back. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the
bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.
1. Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
2. Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket cover on the load plate to
protect the socket when there is no CPU installed.
3. Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.
4. Remove the processor from its protective cover, making sure you hold it
only by the edges.
t is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU,
you have a safe place to store it.
5. Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.
6. Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out tilting or
sliding it into the socket
Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.

7. Close the load plate over the CPU and press down while you close and
engage the socket lever.
8. There are many different fan types that can be used with this
motherboard. Follow the instruction that came with you fan assembly.
Be sure that the fan orientation is correct for your chassis type and your
fan assembly.
The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into
the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging
the CPU!
