1.6.2 Installing the CPU

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard.

2. Unlock the socket by pressing the

lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90°-

100° angle.

Make sure that the socket lever is

lifted up to 90°-100° angle,

otherwise the CPU does not fit in

completely.

3. Position the CPU above the socket

such that its marked corner matches

the base of the socket lever.

4. Carefully insert the CPU into the

socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct

orientation. DO NOT force the

CPU into the socket to prevent

bending the pins and damaging

the CPU!

5. When the CPU is in place, push down

the socket lever to secure the CPU.

The lever clicks on the side tab to

indicate that it is locked.

6. Install a CPU heatsink and fan

following the instructions that came

with the heatsink package.

7. Connect the CPU fan cable to the

CPU fan connector on the

motherboard.
