2.4.1. Installation of the CPU
To install your processor, please complete the following set of instructions
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top of the CPU. This mark indicates
Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Locate Pin 1 for the Socket on the mainboard.
3.
There is a lever on the side of the socket. First push this lever side-
ways and then lift it to a 90-degree angle.
4.
Insert the CPU into the socket. Please make sure that Pin 1 for the
CPU is inserted into Pin 1 of the socket.

pation. Failing to install a heat sink with cooling fan may cause over-
heating which will burnout your CPU and damage your mainboard.
