3 Getting Started
This chapter gives a summary of what is required to setup an
operational system using the NuPRO-842. Hardware installation
and BIOS overview is discussed.
3.1 CPU Installation
The NuPRO-842 CPU module supports a single Intel mPGA478
Pentium 4 processor or 478-pin Micro Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array
(Micro-FCPGA) Pentium 4 Processor-M. Users need to install a
highly efficient CPU fan/cooler to guarantee the system stability.
To install the CPU follow the steps carefully:
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket.
2. Insert the CPU in the socket, making sure that pin 1 of
the CPU aligns with pin 1 of the socket (marked with a
triangle). Press the lever down until you hear it “click”
into the locked position.
3. Apply the proper amount of thermal compound to the
CPU die and place the heatsink and fan on top of the
CPU.
4. Connect the three wires of the CPU fan to the respective
CPU fan connector.
Note : Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface
are in tight contact to avoid CPU overheating problems
that can cause the system to hang or crash. The CPU
heat sink and fan should be installed tightly together.
Please contact an ADLINK dealer for suitable heat sink
and fan assemblies
