CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports AMD

Before building your system, we suggest you visit the AMD website and review the processor
installation procedures.

CPU Socket A Configuration Steps:
1.
Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket. Then lift
the lever to a 90-degree angle.
2.
On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will have a cut-corner
on the rectangular shaped pattern of pin holes on the socket.
Match the corner on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto the
socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.
3.
Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.
4.
Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the clasps
on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert it
onto the CPUFAN adapter.
