Hardware Setup
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 Northwood processor in the
478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy
CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a
heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you
do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and
install them before turning on the computer.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478
1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure
to raise the lever up to a 90degree angle.
3. Look for the cut edge. The cut
edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only
fit in the correct orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completely embedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent
damages to your mainboard.
5. Press the CPU down firmly into
the socket and close the lever.
As the CPU is likely to move
while the lever is being closed,
always close the lever with
your fingers pressing tightly
on top of the CPU to make sure
the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the
socket.
