Installing the CPU
Before You Begin
Be sure that your processor kit includes the following
items:
♦
One processor with the fan or heat sink attached
♦
One power cable (for CPU with cooling fan attached)
Place the mainboard on a workbench (not in a chassis). Be
sure that the mainboard is empty (that is, no DIMMs, ca-
bles, or cards are installed) and that the holes for the fan or
heat sink support pegs are empty.
Installation Procedure
On the motherboard, identify the CPU Socket-462 and the
cooling fan power-supply connector CPU FAN.
Push the CPU socket lever slightly to the side and then
raise it as far as it can go.
Identify the pin-1 corner of the Socket-462. The pin-1 cor-
ner is on the same side as the locking lever, as shown in the
illustration below.
