CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 INST ALLING CENT RAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Special Notice:

Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation

for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the

empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

Pin-Cap

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Motherboard Manual

Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on

CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will

fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 2-1:

Step 2-2:

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked

position to complete the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into

the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

2.2 FAN HEADERS

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan

cable and connector may be different according to the fan manufacturer.
