Install the Motherboard
Followthestepsbelowinordertoperformtheinstallationofyournew SY-6BA+III Motherboard.
Step 1. Install the CPU
Mark your CPU Frequency: RecordtheworkingfrequencyofyourCPU

CPU Mount Procedure: Tomounttheprocessorthatyouhavepurchased
separately,followtheseinstructions.
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 heatsink andcooling fan ontop of yourCPU isnecessary for properheat dissipation. Failingto
installthese items mayresult in overheatingand possibleburn-outof yourCPU
