1.12 CPU Installation
The PCA-6276 provides a Socket 370 for dual Intel ® Celeron™
processors. The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink
attached, to prevent overheating.
Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and
cause damage to both the CPU and the mother-
board.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover.
Locate the processor Socket 370.
1. Make sure the Socket 370 lever is in the upright position. To raise
the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will
go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that
came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, complete the
following procedure. Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to
the socket and the notches on the corners of the CPU correspond
with the notches on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU
in. It should insert easily. If it does not insert easily, pull the lever
up a little bit more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the
socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side
of the socket.
Note: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little
and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the CPU.
When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings, such
as CPU type and CPU clock. Improper settings may damage the
CPU.
