INSTALLATION
Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this mainboard. To
avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
ü
Don’t remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
it into a computer case. Also, handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting
bracket.
ü
Before you handle the mainboard in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such
as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-
up static electricity.
Installing the CPU
ü
WARNING
: Use of a CPU Cooling Fan is required to prevent CPU from
overheating. The Fan should be installed first before inserting the CPU into its
socket.
1.
Locate the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 370.
2.
First open the socket by pulling the lever
sideways, then upwards. Notice how the lever
locks in place when pressed all the way down.
3.
The CPU must be inserted with the correct
orientation. One corner of the CPU has a
“Notch” and looks different that the other three.
This corner is also missing a pin unlike the other
three. Align this corner towards the end of the
lever as shown in the figure at right. Insert the
CPU, press it down.
4.
Close the lever until it locks into place.
The CPU speed will be automatically detected by the mainboard BIOS. Manual
setting is also possible. Refer to the BIOS, Driver & Utility Guide for details.
