7.  Spread an even layer of thermal 
  compound on the CPU die.

3.  Remove the ICE

TM

 Cooling Module from the chassis and put it aside.

5.  Orientate the CPU and socket, aligning the yellow triangle on the 

  cornerof the CPU with the triangle on the socket. Making sure the 

  CPU is perfectly horizontal, insert the CPU into the socket. Close 

  the load plate, lower the CPU socket lever and lock in place.

6.  Remove the protective socket cover.

4.  First unlock and raise the socket lever, lift the metal load plate on the  

  CPU socket.

Note:  This 775 pin socket is fragile and easily damaged. Always use  

 

extreme care when installing a CPU and limit the number of  

 

times that you remove or change the CPU.

FAN Connector- FAN1

Front Panel Connector- JP8

Note:  Please refer to the user guide of the Intel CPU FAN you bought  

 

to install the fan.

1.  Screw the Intel CPU FAN to the mainboard and connect the fan  
  connector.

3.  Plug the Serial ATA cable to the SATA1/SATA2 header.

C.  FAN Installation
