Overview

The motherboard has a Socket A for installation. The Athlon™/Sempron™
CPU has a “marked” corner. This corner is usually indicated with a notch,
and/or a golden square or triangle. Refer to this indicator when orienting
the CPU. A fan and heatsink should be installed on top of the CPU to
prevent overheating.

Installing the CPU

Follow these steps to install a CPU:

1.

Locate the CPU socket. Open
the socket by pulling the lever
gently sideways away from the
socket, then lift the lever
upwards to a 90 to
100-degree angle.

2.

Insert the CPU with the correct
orientation. The notched or
golden corner of the CPU must
be oriented toward the inner
corner of the socket base
nearest to the lever hinge.

The CPU should drop easily into place. Do not force the CPU into the
socket to avoid bending the pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its
alignment and look for bent pins.

Golden corner

This motherboard does not support AMD processors with less than
1 GHz core speed.
