  • Page 13 EVGA Z68/P67 Motherboard Be very careful when handling the CPU. 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: Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
  • Page 14 EVGA Z68/P67 Motherboard Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket. Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out tilting or sliding it into the socket. Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.
  • Page 15 EVGA Z68/P67 Motherboard Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 DIMMs. There must be at least one memory slot populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page for the location of the memory slots.)
  • Page 16 EVGA Z68/P67 Motherboard The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty system case. Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections.
  • Page 17 EVGA Z68/P67 Motherboard Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit.
