2-1 Installing a CPU Processor in Socket A
The Socket A, designed for AMD Athlon/Duron/XP processors, has been incorporated
as a standard mainboard specification. To insert your CPU into Socket A please do
the following:
1. Locate a cut edge on the top surface of the CPU close to one if it's corners. The
same corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch in the CPU's corner.
These markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Pull up the lever of Socket 462 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of
the mainboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket 462
that contains the end of the lever. Allow the weight of the CPU to push itself into
place. Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result in damaging your CPU.
Snap the lever back into place.
Installing an AMD approved heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Failing to install these items may
result in overheating and possible burn-out of your CPU.
