INSTALLATION
Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this mainboard. To
avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
ü
Don’t remove the board from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install it
into a computer case. Handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting
bracket.
ü
Before you handle the mainboard in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such
as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-
up static electricity.
Installing the CPU
Your mainboard features “SLOT 1” architecture, a modular design that can accommodate
Intel
®
Pentium
®
II as well
as Celeron
®
processors. Before installing the CPU, attach the
retention mechanism first.
Attaching the Retention Mechanism
For Celeron CPUs
: Locate SLOT 1. Push the Retention Mechanisms until they are firmly
locked into place. (Fig.1)
For Pentium II CPUs
: Locate SLOT 1. Attach the Retention Mechanism as illustrated
below. (Fig.2)
* Make sure all components
are correctly oriented.
