GeForce 8100/8200/8300-ITX series Motherboard
Preparing the Motherboard
The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain
a CPU and memory. You need to purchase these to
complete this installation.
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure
not to bend or break any pins on the back. Hold the
processor only by the edges and do not touch the
bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto
the motherboard.
Please turn off the power and unplug the power
cord before installing the CPU. Pull the lever
up and away from the socket until it is at a 90
degree angle to the motherboard.
Look for the gold arrow on the CPU. The gold ar-
row should point away from the lever pivot. The
CPU can only sit properly in the socket in the
correct orientation.
If the CPU is correctly seated, the pins should
be completely embedded in the socket and can
not be seen (Please note that any deviation from
the correct installation procedures may cause
permanent damage to your motherboard).
Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and
close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while
the lever is being closed, always close the lever
with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the
CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and com-
pletely seated in the socket.
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the
CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached
on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not
have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your
dealer to purchase and install them before turning
on the computer.
