Installation
Heat Sink
Follow the instructions that came with your processor or heat sink to attach
a heat sink to the processor. Your heat sink should have a 3-pin fan, which
connects to the CPU FAN header. Make sure that good contact is made
between the CPU chip (the die) and the heat sink. Insufficient contact or
inproper types of heat sinks, thermal compound, and fans can cause the
processor to overheat, which may crash the system. (You can check the
CPU temperature readings in the "Periperal Setup" Section of BIOS.)
Processor
Your motherboard has two 370-pin sockets, which support Intel FCPGA
processors. Lift the lever on the FCPGA socket and insert the processor
with the notched corner oriented toward pin one on the socket. Make sure
the processor is fully seated in the socket and and then close the lever.
You can also install a single 370-pin FCPGA CPU on a dual-processor moth-
erboard without changing any jumper settings. See Figure 2-1 for views of
the 370-pin FCPGA socket before and after processor installation.
Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis.

motherboard to the chassis. Make sure the metal standoffs click in or are

dures in the order they appear in this section should eliminate the most
common problems encountered when installing a system.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always re-
move it before adding, removing or changing any hardware compo-
