In this motherboard, jumperless feature is implemented such that no jumper is required to
be set for different type of CPU installed.
Notice:
1. Be sure to save the CMOS setting when exit the CMOS.
2. The CPU is frequency multiplier locked, no CPU speed change will be seen
even if the frequency multiplier setting in CMOS setup is changed.

Hardware Setup
To Install DIMMs
1. Locate the DIMM sockets.
2. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
3. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the socket.
4. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in the bottom
edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket.
5. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket.
6. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining
clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in
place.
Please turn off system before installing and removing any
device, otherwise you’ll cause the system damage.

Technical Reference Booklet
Installing a New Processor
An upgrade processor can dramatically increase general system speed and performance.
Most microprocessor upgrade kits include the following items:
• Microprocessor chip
• Installation instructions and technical data
Before installing the processor, please refer to the installation notes that
available with the CPU package.
To Install a Processor to ZIF Socket
To install the processor, follow these steps:
1. If the system microprocessor is already on the motherboard socket, you need to
remove it from the motherboard socket. The socket is a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
socketwhichhasa metal arm at one side. Carefully grasp this arm, move it horizontally
away from the socket and lift it up. Eventually you will be able to lift the chip straight
up out of the socket. Be careful not to bend any pins.
Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the microprocessor
chip from its socket. The microprocessor chip can be permanently damaged.
2. Unpack the new microprocessor chip.
3. Carefully align the processor with the correct orientation to the socket on the
motherboard.
4. Carefully insert the processor into the socket, and move the metal arm downward to
replace it in its original position.
Connect the Cooling Fan Connector
The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and cooling fan attached to prevent
overheating.
Please follow the setup to install the Heat Sink and cooling fan. Then connect the
processor fan cable to the fan connector that located on the motherboard near the
processor and ensure the fan can operate. Otherwise the CPU can overheat and cause
damage to both CPU and motherboard.
Setting the Processor Speed
After you install the processor into the motherboard, set the processor speed by CMOS
setup.
