Hardware Setup

This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as
how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the
peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in
holding the components and follow the installation procedures.
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775. When you are installing the CPU, make sure
to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, contact your
dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
