2-1 Install the CPU and CPU Cooler
Install the CPU
Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU :
■ MakesurethatthemotherboardsupportstheCPU.
■ Alwaysturnoffthecomputerandunplugthepowercordfromthepowersupply
before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.
■ LocatethepinoneoftheCPU.TheCPUcannotbeinsertediforiented
incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and
alignment keys on the CPU socket.)
■ ApplyanevenandthinlayerofthermalgreaseonthesurfaceoftheCPU.
■ DonotturnonthecomputeriftheCPUcoolerisnotinstalled,otherwise
overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.
■SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecications.Itisnot

Follow the steps to install the CPU onto the CPU socket :
Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.
2.LiftthemetalcoverontheCPU
socket.
5. Remove protective socket cover.
4. When CPU is properly seated,
replace the metal cover and push the
CPU socket lever back to its locked
position.
3. Check pin one marking (triangle)
with the pin one corner of the CPU
socket, align the CPU notches with
the socket alignment keys and gently
put the CPU onto the socket.
1. Release the CPU socket lever.

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease may
adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage the CPU.
Install the CPU Cooler
Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard.
1. Apply and spread an even thermal
grease on the surface of CPU.
2. Place the four bolts of the CPU
cooler to the holes of the motherboard,
push them straight down from the top,
and the bolts will be fastened on the
motherboard. That's it.
3. Check the solder side of the
motherboard, the push pin should
bexedasdepictedinthepicture.
4.Attach the 4-wire CPU cooler
connector to the CPU FAN header
on the motherboard .
Release bolts of CPU cooler from
motherboard :
1.Turning the push pin (bolt)
along with the direction of arrow
(counterclockwise).
2.Pullthepushpinstraightup.
3. Turning push pin clockwise to its
default position.
