Installing the CPU Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU: Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage. Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.
Installing the Memory Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory: Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
