ESD Precautions

Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take
care of the following jobs with precautions:

 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install them.

 Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted

portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.

 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic

component stores, when handling boards and components.

3.1 Installing the Processor

The LGA775 processor socket c omes with a cover to protect the processor.
Please install the processor into the CPU socket step by step as below:

Hold the hook (A) of the lever and push it down.
Pull the lever (B) aside to unlock the cover.

IMB203 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual

Hardware Installation

23

Remove the plastic cap (E) from the cover.

Open the cover (C), you can
see the contact.

Be careful not to touch the
contact (D).

IMB203 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual

Hardware Installation

24

Place the CPU down into the socket. Be careful not to touch the
contact.

Hold the edges of the CPU, and orientate it as the marked direction (G)
down into the socket to match the (H) and (F) locations.
