Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Notes:
Take note of the following precautions before you install components
or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,
such as an attached power supply, before handling components
to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching
any components.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed
integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

CPU
This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon64 processors with a 1600 MT/s band-
width and HyperThansport
TM
Technology.
Attention:
The CPU pins must be properly aligned with the holes in the
socket, otherwise the CPU may be damaged.
Installation of CPU
Follow these steps to install the CPU.
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90
o
angle.
2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the
base of the socket. Carefully insert
the CPU into the socket until it fits in
place.
3. When the CPU is in place, press it
firmly on the socket while you push
down the socket lever to secure the
CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab
to indicate that it is locked.

Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.
To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example,
overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is
provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the
actual procedure.
1.Locate the CPU retention mechanism
base (surrounds the CPU socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
2.If required, apply a light coating of
silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have
a pre-applied thermal compound. In
that case, the silica gel is not required.
4.Connect the fan’s power cable
to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and
system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works normally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging
to the CPU.
