CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 I

NSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Notice:

1. Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

2. The motherboard might equip with two different types of pin cap. Please refer below instruction to remove the pin cap.

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket then raise the

lever and load plate to the fully open position.

Step 2: Remove the Pin Cap.

Motherboard Manual

Step 3: Hold processor with your thumb and index fingers, oriented as

shown. Align the notches with the socket. Lower the processor straight down without tilting or sliding the processor in the socket.

Step 4: Close the load plate. Pressing down on the load plate, close and

engage the socket lever.

Step 5: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the CPU_FAN1 to complete the installation.
