3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a Socket 462 or Socket A for CPU installation. The CPU

that came with the motherboard should have a fan and heatsink attached to it to

prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase and install a set before you

turn on your system.

WARNING! Make sure that the heatsink is mounted tightly against the processor.

Make sure also that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heat-

sink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient cir-

culation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the

motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the Socket

462 and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket, then up-

wards. The socket lever must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees) when installing or

removing the CPU. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The notched corner

should be oriented toward the blank space on the socket nearest the lever. The CPU

has a corner pin for two of the four corners, and will only fit in the orientation as

shown. Ensure that the CPU is exactly parallel to the socket base so the pins make

good contact and are not bent. Take care not to exert too much force, but press the

CPU down gently into the slot. Once completely inserted, close the socket lever

while holding down the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink

locking brace, no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place. The CPU fan and

heatsink should cover the entire face of the CPU.

NOTE: If necessary, do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple for

your processor or else boot-up may not be possible. Frequency multiple settings are

available only on unlocked processors.

CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a

clamp-style processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.
