2-4 CPU Installation

The first step in the installation of your CPU is the insertion of the CPU into the 478 pins

CPU socket. Please follow the steps as outlined below carefully to avoid damage to the

CPU.

Avoid Static Electricity

The Intel P4 processors and your motherboard contain sensitive electronic components that

can be easily damaged by static electricity. We recommend that you leave the processor in

its original packaging until you are ready to install it. You should only touch the edges of

the processor, NEVER touch the processor pins to avoid static discharge.

First take a moment to inspect your CPU for obvious damage due to shipping or handling.

Be sure that no noticeable damage exists before proceeding. You should have the following

items:

 1 Intel P4 processor.

 1 good heatsink and fan assembly.

Step 1

The following figure shows the processor socket. Note that the release lever on the right

side of the socket is down and latched. This position is used to lock the processor in place.

The lever must be raised to install the processor. To do this, first push the lever sideways to

unlatch it, then raise it all the way up (approximately 90 degrees).

Step 2

The processor pin array at the top two corners is angled and has no pins in the corners.

Notice that at the top of the socket on the motherboard (near where it says "Socket 478")

the corners also do not have positions for pins. The processor must be positioned so the

pins match up properly. When you do that, the corner of processor that is cut off will be

positioned next to the release pivot.

It should take no force to install the processor, this is a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. If

it takes any force you are doing something wrong. Check the pin alignment and also make

sure the release lever is raised up completely.

After placing the CPU lower the release lever to lock the processor in place.

Now with the processor properly installed, you can proceed to install the heatsink. It is

important to note that If you have never installed a heatsink on an Intel PIII or Celeron

processor before it may be difficult. We recommend you do a dry run a few times before

doing the final installation. To allow you to do this read the following instructions. Do not

remove the film on the thermally conductive compound until you are ready to do the final

installation.

STOP

WARNING: Never run the processor without the heatsink properly

and firmly attached.

Step3

The picture below shows the bottom of the heatsink. Notice the step in the heatsink surface,

this portion fits over the top of the socket, where the legend "Socket 478" is molded into

the plastic. The heatsink must be mounted with this step above the top of the socket or the

heatsink will not be touching the processor properly.

The next picture shows the removal of the plastic film from the thermally conductive

compound. The thermal compound is a thin layer of material that increases the efficiency

of the heatsink by filling microscopic surface voids in the processor or heatsink surface

with a thermally conductive material. Please do not remove the plastic film until you have

practiced installing the heatsink and mounting the clips on the socket. It can take a few tries

to get used to doing this.

The following picture shows a side view of the heatsink with the retaining clip at the

bottom of the heatsink. Make sure this retaining clip is at the bottom of the heatsink before

trying to install it.

The following picture shows the non-moveable end of the heatsink retaining clip installed

on the lug at the bottom of the processor socket. This end of the clip simply slides over the

lug when you tilt the heatsink / fan assembly towards the lug.

Now lock the locking clip for the retaining strap over the lug at the other (pivot end) of the

processor socket. This is an easy procedure after you do it a few times, but initially it will

require you to use a finger on one hand to push the latch down and use your other hand to

push the latch in. This is the part you need to practice to install the clip properly. When you

are holding the heatsink, make sure you do apply pressure to the fan. You could damage it

and cause thermal failure of the processor.

STOP

WARNING: Be careful not to scrape the motherboard during the mounting

of the fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

Now connect the wire from the heatsink fan to the CP_FAN1 connector on the

motherboard. This connector is keyed and can only be installed one way. If you use a

heatsink assembly that has two cooling fans, connect one to CP_FAN and the other

PW_FAN1. For more information on the FAN connectors, refer to the FAN connector

section later in this section.

2-4-1 CPU and System Cooling

Any attempt to operate the Intel P4 Processor without a suitable cooling

solution will result in permanent damage to the processor and potentially other

components within the system.

FAN Headers

Your motherboard allows the use of in all 3 FANs. Of these 3 FANs, 1 can be

used by the CPU Heatsink assembly. The other 2 FAN Headers allow

connection of a Chassis Fan and a Power Supply FAN respectively. For a the

location of the FAN connectors, refer to the following picture:

No jumper is needed for CPU installation. But need to set “CPU

clock ration“ under Frequency/ Voltage Control in BIOS, e.g. 1.5G
