Processor and Heatsink Installation

!
Notes:
1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding,
removing or changing any hardware components.
2. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU LGA 775 socket before
you install the CPU heatsink.
3. The Intel LGA 775 Processor package contains the CPU fan and heatsink
assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only an Intel-
certified multi-directional heatsink and fan.
4. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsink and fan.
5. When purchasing an LGA 775 Processor or when receiving a motherboard with
an LGA 775 Processor pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in
place and none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer imme-
diately. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.
