2.3 Installing a CPU
The CPU can be upgraded to improve system performance. The system provides
Socket LGA775 architecture which supports Intel Core 2 Quad up to 2.8GHz and
Intel Core 2 Duo up to 3.0GHz.
1. Unlock the back cover and remove it.
2. Remove the CPU cooler.
3. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The notched corner of the CPU (with
the white dot) should point toward the end of the lever. The end of the lever is
the blank area where one hole is missing from the corner of the square array of
pin holes. An arrowhead printed on the motherboard points to the end of the
lever.
4. Slide the CPU in gently. It should insert easily. If not, pull the lever up a little
more and make sure the pins of the CPU correspond with the holes of the
socket. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!
5. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward.
6. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU, secure with heat sink clip.
7. Connect the CPU's cooling fan power connector.
8. Put back the rear cover and screw it back.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your panel PC when you are
working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on, because
sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of
power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the panel
PC.
