3.1 CPU and Memory Module Installation
AU910/AU912 is designed to be modular, slim and lightweight for easier
maintenance. The following sections describe simple hardware installations.
3.1.1 Removing Top Cover
1. Locate the six screws which secure the top cover.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the top cover screws. First unscrew the four
screws in each corner, and then the two screws in the middle of the two
sides. Keep the screws for later use. (Note: Remember to first secure the
two screws in the middle and then the two sides when you install the top
cover.)

3.1.2 Installing CPU
1. Locate the six screws which secure the Thermal Lump.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the six screws and keep them for later use.
3. The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the CPU. As shown in
the picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting the CPU.
4. Place the CPU into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of
the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the
CPU is slid into the socket, lock the screw.
5. The contact area and gap between the processor and the heatsink
requires a thermal pad or thermal paste. Make sure the heatsink of the CPU
top surface is in complete contact to avoid overheating. If not, it would cause
your system or CPU to hang, be unstable, or get damaged.
