This chapter provides information on how to install components on the NuPRO-A40H SHB. 3.1 Installing the CPU The NuPRO-A40H supports an Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Pentium® processor in an LGA1155 socket. Disconnect all power to the board before installing a CPU to prevent damaging the board and CPU.
Page 42
2. Raise the locking arm to unlock the load plate. 3. Lift the load plate to uncover the socket. 4. Remove the plastic protective cover from the socket. Note the locations of the alignment keys (A) and Pin 1 indicator (B). Do NOT touch socket contacts.
Page 43
NuPRO-A40H 5. Hold the CPU using thumb and forefinger as shown. Position the CPU over the socket, matching the notches on the sides of the CPU with the alignment keys on the socket (A). The golden triangle on the CPU must be positioned at the corner of the socket with the Pin 1 indi- cator as shown (B).
Page 44
7. Gently lower the load plate. Make sure the front edge of the plate is under the screw as indicated. 8. Lower the locking arm and fasten it to the retention tab (A). The load plate should be locked underneath the screw as shown (B).
NuPRO-A40H 3.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink The CPU requires a chassis with an airflow inlet and maximum internal ambient temperature of 50° C. A especially-designed CPU fan and heatsink must be installed before using the SHB. CAUTION: Failure to install a CPU fan and heatsink may damage the sys- tem host board and/or the CPU.
3.3 Installing Memory Modules The NuPRO-A40H supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 1333/1600 MHz memory modules in two DIMM sockets. A DDR3 module has a 240-pin footprint compared to the legacy 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR3 modules are notched to facilitate correct installation in the DIMM sockets.
Page 47
NuPRO-A40H 3. Align the memory module on the socket making sure that the notch matches the break on the socket. Notch Break 4. Insert the module firmly into the slot until the retaining clips snap back inwards and the module is securely seated.
ATX 12V Power Connector The NuPRO-A40H requires +12V DC power connected to CN24 for proper operation in either ATX or AT modes. If necessary, order an ATX12V Convert Cable from ADLINK for use with Molex 4-pin power connectors (P/N 30-00006-0000).
