Installing the Motherboard 2-3

User’s Manual

Note

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base

and there are no slots to attach the spacers, don’t worry, you can still attach the spacers

to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of spacers (the spacer may be a little

hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the

motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may

need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface,

because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact

any printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it

may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

2-2. Installation of the Socket 370 processor

The Socket 370 processor installation is easy, like Pentium

processors before. Because it

uses the “Socket 370” ZIF (

ero

nsertion

orce) socket, it can easily let you fix the

processor on to its position firmly.

Figure 2-3 shows you what the 370 socket looks like, and how to open the lever. Its pin count

is more than socket 7. Therefore, the Pentium level processor cannot be inserted into socket

370.

When you raise the lever, you have loosened the socket

lock. Please raise the lever to the end, and prepare to

insert the processor. Next, you need to align the processor

pin 1 to socket pin 1. If you put it in the wrong direction,

you will not be able to insert the processor easily, and

processor pins will not fully go into the socket. If that is

the case, please change the direction, until it easily and

fully inserts into the 370 socket. See Figure 2-4.

When you finish the above, then push the lever down to

its original position, and you should feel the lever lock up

the 370 socket. You have then finished the processor

installation.
