2.1.Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury, always follow basic safety precautions.
Remember to remove power from your computer by disconnecting the AC main source before removing or installing any equip-
ment from/to the computer chassis.
2.2.Preparing the Motherboard
The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a CPU or memory. You need to purchase a CPU, a CPU fan assembly, and
memory to complete this installation.
2.2.1.Installing the CPU
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. An CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and main-
tain system stability. Follow the steps below to ensure correct APU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can damage both
the APU and the motherboard.
1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
2. Locate the pin one (denoted by a small triangle) of the CPU socket and the CPU..
3. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that
any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your motherboard.
4. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always
close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded
into the socket.
5. Locate the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.
6. Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook first.
7. Then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever
and lift up it.
8. Fasten down the lever.
9. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.
