Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation
3.3 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink to the
motherboard.
Notes:
•
The motherboard should be installed into the chassis first and the processor should be
installed into the CPU socket before you install a CPU heatsink.
•
If you bought a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional
heatsink only.
•
When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your
retailer immediately.
•
