Chapter 2
Board Installation
Figure 2-10 below shows an overhead view of the retention braces positioned
at both ends of the CPU slot.
Be sure to tighten the retention brace screws to
secure them onto the motherboard.
Carefully line up the pins of the CPU with the pins of the Slot while placing the
CPU between the two retention braces (the CPU cooling fan should face the
memory DIMM sockets). Lower the CPU onto the motherboard (see Figure 2-
10 below). Your CPU will be firmly secured onto the motherboard once the
retention braces “snap” into the sides of the CPU. The installed CPU should
look like Figure 2-12 on the following page.
