3.6.1 CPU Installation

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1. Locate the ZIP socket on the motherboard.

2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100°

angle.

3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches

the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is

parallel to the socket.

4. Carefuly insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

5. Secure the CPU into the socket by pushing the socket lever all the way down.

You will hear a click indicating that the lever is in place.

6. Attach the heatsink and fan to the CPU, if they were not pre-installed by the

vendor. Refer to the installation instructions that came with the heatsink and fan.

CAUTION! The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the

socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not

fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins.

NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency

multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for the processor to avoid

start-up problems.

WARNING! If you are using only one CPU on the

motherboard, make sure to install a CPU terminator on

the unused CPU socket. But DO NOT install heatsink and

fan on the CPU terminator! Doing so will cause irreparable

damage to the CPU and motherboard.
