4. Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket

lever until it snaps shut.

5. Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU. The heatsink should entirely

cover the CPU. Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic

clips on the socket base. With the added weight of the CPU fan and

heatsink locking brace, no extra force is required to keep the CPU in

place

2.4.2 Installing the CPU

Follow these steps to install a CPU:

1. Locate the Socket 462 and open it by

pulling the lever gently sideways away

from the socket. Then lift the lever

upwards. The socket lever must be fully

opened (90 to 100 degrees).

2. Insert the CPU with the correct

orientation. The notched or golden

corner of the CPU must be oriented

toward the inner corner of the socket

base nearest to the lever hinge.

The CPU should drop easily into place. Do not force the CPU into the

socket to avoid bending the pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its

alignment and look for bent pins.

Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a clamp-

style processor fan, or else damage may occur. When mounting a

heatsink onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not

touch the heatsink, or damage may occur!

Do not neglect to set the correct Bus Frequency and leave the CPU

Multiple setting at default to avoid start-up problems.
