3. Installing Processor
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to
90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look fo
a (golden) cut edge on the CPU uppe
interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge.
Then insert the CPU into the socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and
finish CPU installation.
Note: If you do not match the CPU
socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it
may damage the CP U.

6. Installing CPU & System Fan
Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin IDE cable to floppy connector FDC and IDE
connector. Pin1 of cable is normally marked with red color. Addition to IDE connectors, we
also provide two RAID IDE connectors for you to connect RAID. Be careful of the pin1
orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage.
