3. HARDWARE SETUP
3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a ZIF Socket for the supported CPUs listed in section
2.1.1 Specifications. The following illustration shows the CPU socket location on
the motherboard and the correct CPU orientation.
Note in the illustration that CPUs have marks (usually a notch or a gold mark on one
corner) to help identify the proper orientation and enable correct installation of a
CPU. It is important that you match the marked corner of the CPU with the
corresponding corner on the socket so as not to damage the CPU pins.
The CPU picture above is for reference only. Usually, when you buy a CPU, the
heatsink and fan are already attached to the CPU. If a heatsink and fan did not come
with the package, make sure you obtain one before installing the CPU.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient
circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the
motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.
CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clamp-
style processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard. When mounting
a heatsink onto your CPU, make sure that the CPU capacitors do not touch the
heatsink; otherwise, your CPU will be damaged!
