III. HARDWARE SETUP

3. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that came with the mother-

board should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case

then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

WARNING! Without a fan circulating air on the CPU, the CPU can overheat

and cause damage to both the CPU and the motherboard.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF

socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then

upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as

shown. The notched corner should point towards the end the of the lever. Because

the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the one

orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only; you should have a CPU fan

that will cover the face of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force

is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the socket’s lever

while holding down the CPU.

NOTE: Set the bus frequency and multiple for your Socket 370 processor.
