Removing a DIMM
Removing a DIMM is just the reverse: pull back the clips from the DIMM (see pictures on previous
page), and carefully pull the module straight out. Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as
you remove them to avoid static damage.

2.9 Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan

Intel Pentium III processors up to 1.13GHz can be used on this board. For more information on
CPU compatibility, check Tyan's website at
When installing your CPU, remember the following:
-
The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and can easily be damaged by static
electricity
-
Do not touch the CPU pins with your fingers
-
You should be able to insert the CPU into the socket with virtually no force
-
Do not press down hard on the CPU as you might bend or break pins, or otherwise
damage the CPU.
-
The CPU voltage will automatically be detected by the motherboard, so there is not
need to set any jumpers or BIOS setting.
Installing the CPU
Before installing the CPU, check it for any visible damage. Make sure none of the pins are bent or
missing. Be sure where Pin 1 is on both the CPU and the socket. The following steps each have
corresponding picture next to it to help guide you through the installation.
Careful lift the arm of the ZIF socket until it is at 90 degree angle pointing away from the
motherboard. Be very careful not to damage any components that might be next the socket.
