The following quick steps will guide you through testing the absolute bare minimum essentials of your motherboard
before installing it into a system chassis. Visual aids are provided to assist you during the following procedures.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury always follow basic safety precautions. It is recommended that you use
electrostatic discharge (ESD) countermeasures such as an ESD wrist strap or anti-static mat when handling computer components.
After removing the EVGA X58 SLITM from its packaging, place it on to a nonconductive surface. For example: wood, cardboard box,
or an anti-static mat.
Unhook the socket lever and lift up the load plate. Remove the 1366 protective cover and carefully install your Intel processor making sure to properly align the notches.
Close the load plate and with light pressure, lower the socket lever back in to its original position.
