Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel
package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU
installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has
a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating.
If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to
purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
CPU Installation Procedures
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the dot/cut edge.
The dot/cut edge should
point towards the lever
pivot. The CPU will only
fit in the correct orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.
