CPU Mount Procedure: Tomounttheprocessorthatyouhavepurchased
separately,followthese instructions.
Retention Module Step 1. Open the two sides by folding them up.
Step 2. Insert the CPU into the retention
module. The CPU fits in the CPU
slot in only ONE way, do not try to
force it in.
Step 3. After completely inserting the CPU,
Now your CPU is ready for use.
Note: Installing a heat sink and cooling fan on top of your CPU is necessary for proper heat
dissipation. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and possible burn-out of
your CPU.
