APU & Heatsink Installation

When installing a APU, always remember to install a APU heatsink. An APU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps below to ensure correct APU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can damage both the APU and the motherboard.

1.	Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to	English
	a 90-degree angle.
2.	Look for the gold arrow of the APU. The gold arrow should point as shown in the
	picture. The APU can only fit in the correct orientation.

3.If the APU 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 motherboard.

4.Press the APU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the APU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the APU to make sure the APU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.

15

5.Locate the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

6.Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook first.

7.Then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it.

8.Fasten down the lever.

English

9.Attach the APU Fan cable to the APU fan connector on the motherboard.

Important

•While disconnecting the Safety Hook from the fixed bolt, it is necessary to keep an eye on your fingers, because once the Safety Hook is disconnected from the fixed bolt, the fixed lever will spring back instantly.

•Confirm that the APU cooler has formed a tight seal with the APU before booting your system.

•Please refer to the documentation in the APU cooler package for more details about APU cooler installation.

JBAT1: Clear CMOS Jumper

There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the motherboard to save system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM.

1	1
Keep Data	Clear Data

Important

You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is off. Afterwards, open the jumper . Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on because it will damage the motherboard.
