Step 1 Install The Cpu - Shuttle FX43G User Manual

Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right sector
of your mainboard (between the back panel connectors and the DIMM
memory slots).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to
unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.
3. Place your AMD AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor in the socket A. Note
that the CPU's edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to
prevent from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following
diagram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket.
You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face towards the socket
lever.
4. Slightly push the AMD AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor into the socket
without applying excessive force while making sure there is no gap between
CPU and socket. Then lower the socket-lever all the way down to its hori-
zontal position and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The AMD AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan
to ensure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been al-
ready mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately
and have it installed. Plug the cable throught the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan
power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU
fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hardware moni-
toring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your system to
detect the CPU fan's speed. The CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan power
connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not supported. An-
other type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which
does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be directly connected
to the system's power supply unit. Please refer to the following diagram.
