CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Pull the lever toward direction A from the socket and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step 2: Look for the cut edge on socket, and the gold triangle on CPU
should point forwards this cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the
correct orientation.
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete
the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU
FAN power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.
