CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remo v e Pin Cap before installation, a nd make go o d preserv a tion
for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the
empty so cket to ensure pin legs won’ t be dama g ed.

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
posi tion to complete the installatio n.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsi nk assembly on the CPU and buckle i t
on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.
