Installing Processor(s)
The board supports maximum two Intel Pentium III FC-PGA processors or one
PPGA/FC-PGA 370 Celeron. This section outlines the procedure to install one or
two processors into the mainboard. As newer processors are released we will test
for compatibility. For a list of currently tested and validated processors please visit
our website.
1. Observe the safety precautions as listed
on page 24 for handling static sensitive
devices.
2. Open the socket by raising the actuation
lever.
3. Insert the processor. Ensure proper pin 1
orientation by aligning the FC-PGA cor-
ner closest to the actuation arm tip. The
pin field is keyed to prevent misoriented
insertion. Do not force the processor into
the socket. If it does not go in easily
check for mis-orientation, debris or bent
pins. Make sure the processor is fully in-
serted into the socket on all sides.
4. Close the socket by lowering and
locking the actuaution lever.
