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 banks).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket
to unlock the lever, then bring it to an upward vertical position.
3. Place your PPGA/FC-PGA 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 the wrong direction. The follow
ing diagram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF
socket. You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face to
wards the socket-lever.
4. Slightly push the PPGA/FC-PGA 370 processor into the 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 its horizontal
position and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The PGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper
cooling of the processor. If not already mounted on your CPU, you must
purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable
from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located nearby.
Note that there are several types of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your
mainboard supports the 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’s power
supply unit.
