INSTALLATIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
ting problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.
Installing the CPU
The MB961 Series board supports an LGA1155 Socket (shown below)
for Intel Sandy Bridge processors.
To install the CPU, unl ock fi rst the socket by pressing the lever sideway s,
then lift it up to a 90-degree. Then, po sitio n the C PU abo ve t he so ck et
such that the CPU corner aligns with the gold triangle matching the
socket corner wit h a small triangle. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket and push down the lever to secure the CPU. Then, install the heat
sink and fan.

Installing the Memory
The MB961 Series board supports four DDR3 memory socket for a
maximum total memory of 16GB in DDR3 DIMM memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
pe rform the f ollowing steps:
1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligned
with that on the me mory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3 module in an upright position until the c lips of
the slot close to hold the DDR3 module in place when the DDR3
module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DD R 3 module, p ress the c lips w ith both hands.
