Hardware Setup
If your motherboard has already been installed in your computer you may still need to
refer to this chapter if you plan to upgrade your system's hardware.
This motherboard is electrostatic sensitive. Do not touch without wearing proper safety
gadget and make sure to disconnect the power cable from the power source before
performing any work on your motherboard. Not doing so may result in electrical shock!
2-1 Installing a CPU Processor for Socket A
The Socket A, designed for AMD® Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron processors, has been
incorporated as a standard motherboard specification. To insert your CPU into Socket A
please do the following:
1. Locate a cut edge on the top surface of the CPU close to one if it’s corners. The same
corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch in the CPU’s corner. These
markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Pull up the lever of Socket 462 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of the
motherboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket 462 that
contains the end of the lever. Allow the weight of the CPU to push itself into place.
Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result in damaging your CPU. Snap the
lever back into place.
3. Installing an AMD approved heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat
dissipation from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating
and possible burnout of your CPU.
Notes:
In order to boot up with a newly installed CPU, AC Power must be switched off before
installation.
