1.11 Processor Installation
The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to prevent
overheating.
Warning:
1.
The CPU has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage.
Before you install the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket
pin. First, remove the cap from lever hinge side and the pins of
socket reveal.
2.
Open the load lever. Then,lift the load lever up and open the load
plate.After confirming the CPU direction for correct mating,gently
put down the CPU in the socket housing frame.Be sure to grap on
the edge of the CPU base. Note that the alignment keys are
matched.
3.
Cover the load plate onto the package. Press down the load lever
lightly onto the load plate, and then secure the lever with the hook
under retention tab. Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed
before turning on your system.
Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will over-heat
and cause damage to both the CPU and the single
board computer. To install a CPU, first turn off
your system and remove its cover. Locate the pro-
cessor LGA775.
