Board Installation
Pin 1 on the CPU is
denoted by a small dot
on one of the corners
and Pin 1 on the ZIF
socket is denoted by
an angled corner (see
figure 2-6. Never force
a CPU into a socket.
Forcing a CPU to seat
will bend the pins on
the CPU and possibly
damage the mother-
board.
Figure 2-6
Push down lightly on the CPU, and lower the arm on the ZIF socket to secure
the CPU. A squeaking noise is normal as the arm lowers. After the CPU is
securely seated, install the appropriate cooling device. Tyan strongly recom-
mends a heatsink/fan combination. Consult with your case manufacturer for
other cooling options.
