4. Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan
Socket 370 type Pentium III / Celeron processors can be used on the Tomcat i815e.
Remember:
•
The CPU is a
sensitive electronic
component and it can
easily be damaged by
static electricity. Do
not touch the CPU
pins with your
fingers.
•
Before the CPU is
installed, the
mainboard must be
placed on a flat
surface. You should
be able to insert the
CPU into the socket
with minimal, but firm
pressure. Do not
press down hard on
the CPU.
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
motherboard.
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,
you
must
install an appropriate cooling device (otherwise damage will occur to your
CPU). Tyan strongly recomends a heatsink / fan combination. Consult with your case
manufacturer for other cooling
options.
Locate the cooling fan connector (e.g.
FAN1) on the motherboard. Plug the
CPU’s cooling fan cable into the
cooling fan connector on the board.
There will be a plastic clip assembly
similar to that of the ATX power
connector that will force you to
connect the fan cable correctly (see
Figure 2-7
to the right).
