3.6.1 CPU Installation
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the ZIP socket on the motherboard.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100°
angle.
3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches
the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is
parallel to the socket.
4. Carefuly insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
5. Secure the CPU into the socket by pushing the socket lever all the way down.
You will hear a click indicating that the lever is in place.
6. Attach the heatsink and fan to the CPU, if they were not pre-installed by the
vendor. Refer to the installation instructions that came with the heatsink and fan.
CAUTION! The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the
socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not
fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins.
NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency
multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for the processor to avoid
start-up problems.
