HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Precautions:
Before installing the mainboard, processor card, memory
modules, add-on cards, cables, etc., please make sure to unplug the on­
board power connector. If power is still active while installing new
hardware, there is a high likelihood of components getting damaged.
Also, please touch a grounded metal object before you touch any electronic
components. This should discharge any static electricity on your clothes or
body.
Step-by-Step Installation

Install the Processor Card
6
1.
Your processor card includes a heat sink. Check if it is fitted correctly
and is in full contact with the surface of the processor. The cooler
should not be loose, but fit tightly against the processor.
2.
Plug the processor card in the processor slot which is in the centre of
the motherboard as seen
on the illustration on this
page. Make sure the
processor card is the
correct
way around,
otherwise it will not fit. Set
the processor card in its slot
and push downwards at
both ends. This may need a
good push, but do not use
excessive force as that can
damage the motherboard.
