® Motherboards MXGG Series CyberResearch 4.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the MXGG may result in permanent damage to the MXGG and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the MXGG.
® Motherboards MXGG Series CyberResearch 4.3 Basic Installation This section outlines the parts that must be installed for the system to function correctly. 4.3.1 CPU Installation NOTE: To enable Hyper-Threading, the CPU and chipset must both support it. WARNING: CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway.
® Motherboards MXGG Series CyberResearch Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air. Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly.
DO NOT use the original Intel® heat sink and fan. A proprietary one is recommended. Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits The cooling kit can be purchased from CyberResearch, Inc.; cooling kits include a heatsink and fan. WARNING: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink.
® Motherboards MXGG Series CyberResearch Step 3: Mount the cooling kit. Gently place the cooling kit on top of the CPU. Make sure the four threaded screws on the corners of the cooling kit properly pass through the predrilled holes on the bottom of the PCB.
® Motherboards MXGG Series CyberResearch 4.4 Jumper Settings NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.
