CPU Backplates
A CPU backplate (BKT-0017L) has been included in the retail box. The backplate
prevents the CPU area of the motherboard from bending and provides a base for
attaching the retention module. To install, the backplate, begin by peeling off the
release paper to expose the adhesive. On the underside of the motherboard,
locate the two holes on either side of the CPU socket. Attach the adhesive side
of the backplate to the board by inserting the standoffs into the two holes and
applying light pressure so that the backplate sticks to the underside of the board.
See Figure 2-1.
Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces-
sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be-
fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
Installing the Processor
1. Lift the lever on CPU socket until it
points straight up.
2. Use your thumb and your index fi n-
ger to hold the CPU. Locate pin 1 on
the CPU socket and pin 1 on the CPU.
Both are marked with a triangle.
3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1
of the socket. Once aligned, carefully
place the CPU into the socket. Do not
drop the CPU on the socket, move the
CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the
CPU against the socket or against any
pins of the socket, which may damage
the CPU and/or the socket .
