MSI  Reminds You...

1. Check the information in 

PC Health Status

 in BIOS (Chapter 3) for the

CPU temperature.

2. Whenever CPU  is not installed,  always protect your CPU socket pin

with the  plastic cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.

3. Please note that the mating/unmating durability of the CPU is 20 cycles.

Therefore we suggest you do not plug/unplug the CPU too often.

12.    Press  down  the  load  lever lightly

onto the load plate, and then secure
the lever with the hook under reten-
tion tab.

11. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated

well into the socket, then remove the
CPU Clip with 2 fingers. Then cover
the load plate onto the package.

13. Align the holes on the mainboard with

the cooler. Push down the cooler until
its  four  c lips  get  wedged  into  the
holes of the mainboard.

14. Press the four hooks down to fasten

the cooler.  Then rotate  the locking
switch (refer to the correct direction
marked on it) to lock the hooks.

locking

switch

15. Turn over the mainboard to  confirm

that  th e  c li p-en ds   are  c orrec tly
inserted.

Note: If  you want to  uninstall  the CPU,

align the 4 points (see Point 8 for
details) again and push the clip to
lift up the CPU.
