2.2 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install components into the
system.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal
object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to
avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This LED lights
up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off mode, and not
powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet and make sure that
the standby power LED is OFF before installing any system component.

CPU Socket AM2+
The motherboard comes with a 940-pin AM2+ socket designed for the AMD
Athlon™ 64 X2/Athlon™ 64/Sempron™ processor.
The AM2+ socket has a different pinout from the 940-pin socket designed for
the AMD Opteron™ processor. Make sure you use a CPU is designed for the
AM2+ socket. The CPU ts in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and
damaging the CPU!
AM2+ socket is backward compatible with AM2 socket.
2.4.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing the
lever sideways, then lift it up to a
90º angle.
Socket lever
Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to a 90º angle; otherwise, the CPU
2-4 Chapter 2: Basic installation
will not t in completely.
3. Position the CPU above the socket
such that the CPU corner with the
gold triangle matches the socket
corner with a small triangle.
4. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it ts in place.
Please make sure your CPU
is fully plugged-in to reduce
abnormal symptom.
5. When the CPU is in place, push
down the socket lever to secure the
CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab
to indicate that it is locked.
6. Install a CPU heatsink and fan
following the instructions that came
with the heatsink package.
2-5ASUS V-Series M2NC61P
2.4.2 Installing the heatsink and fan
Make sure that you use only AMD-certied heatsink and fan assembly.
Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the heatsink
ts properly on the retention module base.
• The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard
upon purchase.
• You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the
CPU or installing other motherboard components.
• If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make
sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU
heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

Your boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly should come with installation
instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If the
instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the
latter.

3. Align the other end of the retention bracket (near the retention bracket lock)
to the retention module base. A clicking sound denotes that the retention
bracket is in place.
Make sure that the fan and heatsink assembly perfectly ts the retention
mechanism module base, otherwise you cannot snap the retention bracket in
place.
4. Push down the retention bracket lock on the retention mechanism to secure
the heatsink and fan to the module base.
5. When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan cable
to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN.
Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors
can occur if you fail to plug this connector.
