3.5.1 CPU Installation

Step 1: Install the Baseboard
A metal baseboard is required to install the heatsink to the motherboard. A rubber
pad is placed between the metal board and motherboard to provide insulation to
prevent shorting.
Align the rubber pad over
the metal baseboard so that
the holes match. Align the
motherboard over the rub-
ber pad and metal base-
board so that the screws on
the baseboard match up
with the motherboard's
screw holes.
Place the four washers over the four
screws on the baseboard.
IMPORTANT:
This step is a
MUST! The washers are necessary
to prevent shorting.
