Step 2: Push the lever closest to the "lock" marking "

(below referred as lever B) down and away from the socket. Then lift the lever.

Step 4: Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers. Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the pin one corner of the CPU socket (or align the CPU notches with the socket alignment keys) and carefully insert the CPU into the socket vertically.

Step 6: Finally, secure lever A under its retention tab to complete the installation of the CPU.

1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler

Refer to the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (Actual installation process may differ depending the CPU cooler to be used. Refer to the user's manual for your CPU cooler.)

Step 1: Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 3: Use one hand to hold the cooler and the other to tighten the screws in a diagonal sequence with a screw driver. Begin tightening a screw with a few turns and repeat with the screw diagonally

opposite the one you just tightened. Then do the

same to the other pair. Next, fully tighten the four screws.

Step 2: Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four mounting screws with the mounting holes on the ILM. (If your cooler has a fan grill which may cause interference when you tighten the screws,

remove it rst and replace it after tightening the

screws.)

Step 4: Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.

Please pay more attention when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage the CPU.

(CPU Fan/System Fan Headers)

The motherboard has two 4-pin CPU fan headers, four 4-pin system fan headers. Most fan headers

possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

• These fan headers are not conguration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the headers.
