PART A 2-7-2 The mainboard also provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket 370. The CPU on motherboard must have a fan attached to prevent overheating. To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.

Reference Design: Heatsink • Intel’s reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded aluminum heatsink base and a fan attached to the top on the fin array. • Heatsinks for the PPGA will not work with the FC-PGA. A pedestal is required on the underside of the heatsink to clear the socket FC-PGA with the reference cam box.
Page 12
CPU Insertion Step 1 Open the socket by raising the actuation lever. Step 2 Insert the processor. Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning the FC-PGA corner marking with the socket corner closest to the actuation arm tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent mis- oriented insertion.

Heatsink Attachment Step 1 Remove the protective liner from the thermal interface material on the underside of the heatsink. This liner is not normally present on the Intel reference active heatsink. Step 2 Orient the heatsink with the keyed edge of heatsink Thumb Tab along the cam box side of the processor.
2-8 Expansion Cards You must read the documentation come with expansion card for any hardware or software settings that may be required to setup your specific card. Installation Procedure: 1. Read the documentation from your expansion card. 2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card. 3.
