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.

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon and Duron processors.

It uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. 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

1. Pull the lever sideways away

from the socket. Then, raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

2. Look for the cut edge. The

cut edge should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will only fit in the correct orientation.

3. 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 finger pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly & completely embedded into the socket.

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to

WARNING!

protect the CPU from overheating.

WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements.

AMD Athlon/Duron processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMDs website for reference.
