Hardware Setup

This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow the
installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not
work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the
components.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The mainboard supports Intel® Core 2 Duo/Core Duo/Celeron M processors in
Socket P. 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
have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them
before turning on the computer.

Important

1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the
power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

2-3

MS-9803 Mainboard

CPU & Cooler Installation for Socket P

1.Locate the CPU socket on the
mainboard.

2.Place the CPU on top of the socket. Make sure to align the gold arrow on the CPU
with the arrow key on the socket.

3.Push the CPU down until its pins securely fit into the socket.

4.On the front end of the CPU socket is a
locking mechanism designed into the
form of a screw head. Make sure that
you actuate or deactuate this mecha­nism with a screwdriver before and af­ter installing the CPU.

Important

2-4

Hardware Setup

5. Flip over the mainboard and locate the position of the CPU socket.

6. Install the backplate to the back of the CPU socket with holes aligned.

CPU cooler backplate

7. The heatsink paste helps to enhance heat dissipation of the CPU. Before installing

the cooler set (fan & heatsink bundled), make sure that you detach the shield of
the heatsink paste under the cooler set.

8. Locate the four screw holes around the CPU socket where the CPU cooler

backplate was installed. Align the cooler set with the screw holes and mount it on
top of the CPU.

9. Screw to secure the cooler set to

the mainboard.

10.Connect the fan power cable to the
CPUFAN1 connector on the mainboard.
