1.7 Installing Hardware

※ DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidental

scratch of a tiny surface-mount component may seriously damage the

motherboard.

※ In order to protect the contact pins, please pay attention to these notices:

1. A maximum 20 cycles of CPU installation is recommended.

2. Never touch the contact pins with fingers or any object.

3. Always put on the cap when the CPU is not in use.

1.7.1 CPU Socket 775

※ The installation procedures vary with different types of CPU fan-and-heatsink

assembly. The one shown here is served for demo only. For detailed

information on how to install the one you bought, refer to its installation

guidelines.

1. Place the board so that the lever-hook of

the socket is on your left side. Use your left

thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook,

pull it away from the retention tab. Rotate

the lever to fully open position.

2. Use your right-thumb to raise the load

plate. Lift it up to fully open position.

3. Use your right thumb and forefinger to

grasp the CPU package. Be sure to grasp on

the edge of the substrate, and face the Pin-1

indicator toward the bottom-left side. Aim at

the socket and place the CPU package

vertical down into the socket.

4. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well

into the socket. The alignment key must be

located in the notch of package.
