This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the com-
ponents and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if
you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work prop-
erly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
When installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent over-
heating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on
the computer.
Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the
cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure
that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU
and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
Introduction to LGA 115x CPU
The surface of LGA 115x CPU. Remember to apply some thermal paste on it for
better heat dispersion.

CPU Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on
the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal
paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat disper-
sion.
Open the load lever and remove the
plastic cap.
1. Lift the load lever up to fully open
position.
2.
After con󰘰rming the CPU direction for
correct mating, put down the CPU in
the socket housing frame. Be sure to
grasp on the edge of the CPU base.
Note that the alignment keys are
matched.
3. Engage the load lever while pressing
down lightly onto the load plate.
4.
Alignment Key
Important
Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU with
pure vertical motion and reinstall.
Secure the load lever with the hook
under the retention tab.
5. Make sure the four hooks are in proper
position before you install the cooler.
Align the holes on the motherboard
with the cooler. Push down the cooler
until its four clips get wedged into the
holes of the motherboard.
6.
Press the four hooks down to fasten
the cooler. Turn over the motherboard
to con󰘰rm that the clip-ends are
correctly inserted.
7. Finally, attach the CPU Fan cable
to the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.
8.
Important
Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damage.
Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pins with the plastic
cap covered.
Please refer to the documentation in the CPU cooler package for more details about
the CPU cooler installation.
Read the CPU status in BIOS.

Installing Memory Modules
The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only 󰘰t in the
right orientation.
Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until
the golden 󰘰nger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when
the memory module is properly seated.
Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM
slot clips at the sides.

Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted

To enable successful system bootup, always insert the memory module into
the DIMM1 first.
