4.2.2 Processor Selection

This motherboard supports all 478-pin Pentium 4 processors and the

BIOS automatically detect the required settings and configures the

CMOS Setup Utility accordingly.

Installing a Pentium 4 processor in the mPGA478 Socket is the simplest

part of the procedure. It is very important, however, to carefully handle

the processor by the side edges and always fully observe precautions

against electrostatic discharge. We assume here that you are installing an

Intel Pentium 4 boxed processor that comes with a heatsink and Thermal

Interface Material applicator. The illustrations show these. If you are

installing a non-boxed processor, the procedure is the same, but the acces-

sory items may have a different appearance. Please follow the installation

procedure as illustrated on the next two pages. The illustrations are

generic and do not specifically represent this motherboard.
