Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the upper-right sector of your mainboard
(between the back panel connectors and the DIMM memory banks).
2. Pull the CPU 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 processor in the socket A. Note that the CPU’s
edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to prevent from
inserting the processor in the wrong direction. And the CPU will only
fit in the orientation as shown. The following diagram demonstrates the
correct placement of the CPU in socket A. You can see that the two
blunt-edged corners should be oriented toward the blank space on the
socket.
4. Slightly push the AMD 462 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 the horizontal
position and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The AMD 462 processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper
cooling of the processor. If the heatsink/fan have not been mounted on
your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately 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.
