CPU Socket 775 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket 775 on your
mainboard and nudge the lever away
from the socket as shown. Then lift
the lever to a 140-degree angle (A).
Next, lift up the iron cover (B).
2. There are 2 distinctive marks
located near the corners of the socket
on the same side as the lever as shown
(C). Match these marks with the marks
on the CPU and carefully lower the
CPU down onto the socket (D).
3. Replace the iron cover and then
lower the lever until it snaps back into
position (E). This will lock down the
CPU (F).
4. Smear thermal grease on the top of the CPU. Lower the
CPU fan onto the CPU/CPU socket and secure it using the
attachments or screws provided on the fan. Finally, attach
the fan power cord to the
CPUFAN
header.
Attention: DO NOT
touch the CPU pins due to they are sensitive and
easily to be damaged. Make sure that you have completed all installation
steps before turn on the system. Finally, double-check that the heatsink is
properly installed and make sure that the CPU fan power cord is securely
attached (cooling problems may cause overheating and lead to damage the
CPU and other sensitive components).
