Processor and Heatsink Installation

Caution: Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the processor. Always
connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing
any hardware components.
Installation Procedure
Follow the procedures as listed below to install the motherboard into a chassis.
1. Install the processor(s) and the heatsink(s).
2. Install the motherboard in the chassis.
3. Install the memory and add-on cards.
4. Finally, connect the cables and install the drivers.
Installing the Processors
1. Begin by removing the cover plate
that protects the CPU. Lift the
lever on the CPU socket until it
points straight up. With the lever
raised, lift open the silver CPU
retention plate.
2. Use your thumb and your index
fi nger to hold the CPU. Locate
and align pin 1 of the CPU socket
with pin 1 of the CPU. Both are
marked with a triangle.
Caution: The CPU will only seat inside the socket in one direction. Make sure it is
properly inserted before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force
it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check
that the CPU is aligned properly.
