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 banks).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket
to unlock the lever, then bring it to an upward vertical position.
3. Place your FC-PGA or PPGA370 processor in the ZIF socket. Note thatthe
CPU’s edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrical to prevent
from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following dia
gram 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 CPU 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 FC-PGA or PPGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure
proper cooling of the processor. If they are not already mounted on your
CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed.
Plug the cable from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector
located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU fan connectors.
Normally, if your mainboard supports the hardware 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 connect directly to the
system’s power supply unit.
