2-2 Processor Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
The following pages cover the installation procedures. You should install
the processor in the motherboard first, then install the motherboard in the
chassis, then the memory and add-on cards, and finally the cables and
drivers. Following the installation procedures in the order they appear in
this chapter should eliminate the most common problems encountered when
building a system.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last, and always re-
move it before adding, removing or changing any hardware compo-
n e n t s .
Heat Sink
Follow the instructions that came with your processors and heat sinks to
attach heat sinks to the processors. Each of your heat sinks should have
a 3-pin fan connector, which should be connected to the CPU FAN header.
Make sure that good contact is made between the processors and the heat
sinks. Insufficient contact, incorrect types of heat sinks, fans, or thermal
compound used or improper amount of thermal compound applied on the
CPU die can cause a processor to overheat, which may crash the system.
Processor
You are now ready to install the processors. Your motherboard has two
370-pin, FCPGA type sockets, which support 370-pin Pentium III FCPGA (not
SEPP) 500 MHz - 1.4 GHz processors with a 512K L2 cache, including low
power Pentium III processors. Lift the lever on the FCPGA socket and install
with the notched corner of the processor oriented with pin 1. Fully seat the
processor into the socket and then close the lever. See Figure 2-1 for
views of the FCPGA 370-pin socket before and after processor installation.
