CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALL ATION
2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remo v e Pin Cap before installation, and m ake good preservation for future use. When the CPU is remov e d, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’ t be damaged.
Pin Cap
Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
6
915GV- M7 DD R 2
Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on
CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step 2-1:
Step 2-2:
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked
position to complete th e installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsi nk assembl y on the CPU and buckle i t
on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

915GV- M7 DD R 2
XGP1: Xtreme Gr aphics Port Slot
This XGP (Extreme Graphics Port) slot is a special design that only supports compatible AGP VGA cards.
To install the system with an add-on AGP VGA card, please make sure to install the driver of add-on AGP VGA card before onboard
VGA dr iver i nstallat i on. If the on bo ar d VG A dr iver has a lready bee n installed before you install the add-on AGP VGA card, the system
will automatically set the onboard VGA as the primary graphics adapter.
For the onboard VGA driver can’t be removed com pletely, and to solve thi s problem, please follow the steps bel ow,
1. Disable onboard VGA utility under the operating system, and reboot PC. After PC restarts, the system will automat ically set
the AGP V GA car d as the graphics a dap ter .
2. Or, re-i nstall your operating system to ensure the AGP VGA card function can be used.
