Page 17: Cpu Installation
CPU Installation The motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating . If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. To install a CPU , first turn off your system and remove its cover. -
Page 18: Clearance Requirements
Clearance Requirements To maintain proper airflow once the processor is installed on the mainboard, the processor and fan heatsink require certain space clearances. The clearance above the processor must be at least 0.3 inch. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and fan heatsink must be at least 0.2 inch. -
Page 19: External Connectors
EXTERNAL CONNECTORS Both Ribbon cable and Connectors on board are with direction signs to avoid that user insert wrong direction. On other hand, the ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the pin 1 of side of the connector. Wake On LAN SB-LINK PS/2 Mouse Port... - Page 20 1. AT Keyboard port This connector will compatible with standard at AT size (large DIN) keyboard plugs. You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards. 2. PS/2 Mouse port This system will direct IRQ12 to PS/2 mouse. 3.
- Page 21 7. FAN1 , FAN2 , FAN3 CPU Cooling Fan (FAN/PWR) These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAmp (6Watt) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heatsink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different.
