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 supply before

installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

■ Unlock and open the CPU socket carefuly.

■ Remove the socket protection cap.

■ Locate the Pin_1 of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or

you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU

socket.)

■ Close and lock the CPU socket carefuly.

■ Check if your heatsink has a thermal pad or thermal grease preapplied. If yes make

sure to remove possible plastic protections from the bottom of the Heatsink before

you install it. If no, apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of

the CPU.

■ Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating

and damage of the CPU may occur.

■ Install and fasten the CPU Heatsink.

■ Connect the Heatsinks dan to the CPU fan connector.

■ After the rst boot up we recommend entering the BIOS by hitting the "DEL" key and

loading the setup/optimized defaults.

■ Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

■ Remember to always check if your system works properly and stable with the default

conguration before voiding your warranty by altering the system conguration.
