CPU Installation
This processor is intended to be pr ofessionally installe d. T ake proper electrostatic s discharge (ESD)
precautions such a s using approp riate ground strips, gloves, an d ESD mats.
• Insert CPU into CPU socket and turn the screw to the lock position.
Note: Do not force the CPU into the socket. It may bend the pins and damage the CPU.
Installing t he CP U Coole r
z -Insert the retention bracket through the screw hole from bottom sid e of motherboar d.
-Match and place CPU cooler assembly on the top of CPU and retention bracket.
-Tighten the screws into the retention bracket.
Screw holes Retention bracket CPU cooler & Retention bracket
(rear side)
Note: Make sure CPU cooler assembly and CPU top surface are in total contact to avoid CPU
overheating problem which would cause the system to hang or unstable.
