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 PGA 370 Celeron processor in the ZIF socket. Note that the
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 to wards 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 PGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper cooling
of the processor. If not already mounted on your CPU, you must pur -
chase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable
from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located at the
immediate right of the ZIF socket. 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. Please refer to the
following diagram.
