Installing the Motherboard 2-3
User’s Manual
Note
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base
and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not despair, you can still attach the
spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacers
may be a little hard to cut , so mind your fingers). In this way, you can still attach the
motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may
need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface as
the circuit wire may be too near the hole. Be careful. Do not let the screw contact the
printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole. Otherwise it may
damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

   

The installation method for the CPU is printed on the package of the retention mechanism
that comes with the motherboard. You can refer to it while you install the CPU.
Note:
! Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation from
your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and damage of
your CPU.
! Please refer to your boxed processor installation or other documentation attached
with your CPU for detailed installing instructions.
