Figure 5-4: Insert the LGA775 CPU

Step 8:

Close the CPU socket.

Close the load plate and engage the load lever by

pushing it back to its original position. Secure the load lever under the retention

tab on the side of CPU socket.

Step 9:

Connect the CPU 12 V cable to the 12After the cooling kit is installed

connect the CPU cable to the CPU 12 V power connector

Step 0:

5.3.2 LGA775 Cooling Kit Installation

WARNING:

It is strongly recommended that the original heat sink and cooler

provided by Intel not be used on the IMBA-9454B.

IEI’s cooling kits include a support bracket that is combined with the

heat sink mounted on the CPU to counterweigh and balance the load

on both sides of the PCB.
