Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right
sector of your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the
DIMM memory slots).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket
to unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.
3. Place your AMD 462 Athlon/Duron processor in the socket A. Note that
the CPU's edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to pre-
vent from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following
diagram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket.
You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face towards the
socket-lever.
4. Slightly push the AMD 462 Athlon/Duron processor into the socket without
applying excessive force while making sure there is no gap between CPU
and socket. Then lower the socket-lever all the way down to its horizontal
position and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The AMD 462 Athlon/Duron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to
ensure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been
already mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan sepa-
rately and have it installed. Plug the cable through the heatsink/fan in the
CPU fan power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types
of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard
ware monitoring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your
system to detect the CPU fan's speed. The CPU fan can also run with a
2- pin fan power connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not
supported. Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power
connector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must
be directly connected to the system's power supply unit. Please refer to
the following diagram.
