Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right
sector of your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the
DIMM memory slots).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket
to unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upward vertical position.
3. Place your FC-PGA/FC-PGA2 370 processor in the ZIF socket. Note that
the CPU’s edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrical to
prevent from inserting the processor in wrong direction. The following
diagram demonstrates the correct placement of CPU in the ZIF socket.
You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face towards the
socket-lever.
4. Slightly push CPU into socket without applying excessive force while
making sure there is no gap between CPU and socket. Then lower
the socket lever all the way down to the horizontal position and lock it to
secure the CPU in place.
5. The FC-PGA/FC-PGA2 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure
proper cooling of processor. If heatsink/fan are not already mounted on
your CPU, you must purchase them separately and have it installed. Plug
the cable from heatsink/fan to CPU fan power connector located nearby.
Note that there are several types of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your
mainboard supports hardware monitoring function, a 3-pin fan power
connector should allow your system to detect the CPU fan’s speed . The
CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan power connector, however, detec-
tion of CPU fan’s speed is not supported. Another type of CPU fan may
feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which does not support CPU
fan's speed detection and must connect directly to the system power
supply unit.
