Board Installation
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 away from the PCI
slots). Lower the CPU onto the motherboard (see Figure 2-8 above). 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 2-9 below. Take the overhead clip
(See Figure 2-10 on the right) and insert the ends of the clip over the top of the side
braces.You will hear a click when the overhead clip is fitted securely into the side braces.
Finally, connect the CPU fan connector to the CPU fan header on the motherboard,
please see page 16 for details regarding the appropriate header for the CPU fan.
