3.2 Installation You Have to Know

Installing CPU

This socket supports FC-PGA2 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation.

Installing CPU and System Fans

Plug the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan, you can also plug it in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector.

GND +12V SENSOR

Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin so that they cannot support fan monitoring.

Installing CPU Fan

1. Gently put down the CPU fan on the retention module with four clips aligning

correctly to the four holes. Make sure the two levers are in opposite

direction.

2. Press down the clips into the holes one by one. Make sure the clips are firmly

fixed into the holes.

3. Pull two levers down toward the opposite direction to secure the cpu fan.

Note: The picture above may look different from the product you purchased.

Installing Memory Modules

DIMM slots are designed in Electronic Blue which are very easy to recognize. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and press down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place.

Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables

Connect the 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector and IDE connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage.

Connecting Front Panel Cable

Attach the power LED, speaker and reset switch connectors to the corresponding pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing while the system is in suspend mode.

Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing, which is a 2-pin female connector from the housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft-power switch connector marked SPWR.
