Installation Of The 2-3. Installing Systemm - Abit BM6 User Manual

Installing the Motherboard
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base
and there are no slots to attach the spacers, don't worry, you can still attach the spacers
to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of spacers (the spacer may be a little
hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the
motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may
need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface,
because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact
any printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it
may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.
2-2. Installation of the Celeron
® ™
The Intel Celeron PPGA package processor installation, is easy, like Pentium
before. Because it uses the "Socket 370" ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket, it can easily let
you fix the processor on to its position firmly.
Figure 2-3 shows you what the 370 socket looks like, and how to open the lever. Its pin
count is more than socket 7. Therefore, the Pentium level processor cannot be inserted into
socket 370.

Note

PPGA processor
When you raise the lever, you have loosened
the socket lock. Please raise the lever to the end,
and prepare to insert the processor. Next, you
need to align the processor pin 1 to socket pin 1.
If you put it in the wrong direction, you will not
be able to insert the processor easily, and
processor pins will not fully go into the socket.
If that is the case, please change the direction,
until it easily and fully inserts into the 370
socket. See Figure 2-4.
When you finish the above, then push the lever
down to its original position, and you should
feel the lever lock up the 370 socket. You have
then finished the processor installation.
