2. Installation

775V88/775V88+ is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 9.2-in, 30.5 cm x 23.4 cm)
motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your
chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com-

ponents or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded
object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti­static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.

2.1 775-LAND CPU Installation

For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,
please follow the steps below.

Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if
the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.
Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is
found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

down and out on the hook to clear
retention tab.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-

sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-

sition at approximately 100 degrees.

775-Pin Socket Overview

Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated

Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two
orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key
notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket

by using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket

and properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick a nd Pla ce Cap):

Use your left hand index finger and thumb to
support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap
with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the
socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to
assist in removal.

It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking off
the PnP cap.

Step 4. Close the socket:

Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS.
Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load

plate, engage the load lever.

Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab

under retention tab of load lever.
