1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid

damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperatures.

3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or

removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when

you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC

power supply may result in serious damage to your system or

memory module.

Warning:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of

your device.

Notes:

Take note of the following precautions before you install compo-

nents or change settings.

1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,

such as an attached power supply, before handling compo-

nents to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching

any component.

3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed

integrated circuits (ICs).

4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded

anti-static pad or into anti-static bag that it came in.

CPU

This motherboard accepts Intel socket 478 processors (CPUs) with a front

side bus (FSB) of 400/533/800 MHz processors with Hyper-Threading

technology are supported.

Installation of CPU

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1. Unlock the socket by pressing the

lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90

0

angle.

2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the

base of the socket. Carefully insert

the CPU into the socket until it fits in

place.

3. When the CPU is in place, press it

firmly on the socket while you push

down the socket lever to secure the

CPU. The lever clicks on the side

tab to indicate that it is locked.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Warning :

Excessive temperatures will severely damage the CPU and

system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works normally

at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging to the

CPU.

1. Locate the CPU retention mechanism

base (surrounds the CPU socket).

3. Attach the fan to the base.

Installation of CPU Fan

New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.

To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example, overheating,

you need to install the proper fan. The following procedures are provided

for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide to install it.

2. If required, apply a light coating

of silica gel to the top of the CPU.

Note: The CPU heatsink may have a

pre-applied thermal compound. In that

case, the silica gel is not required.

4. Connect the power fan’s power

cable to the appropriate 3-pin

connector on the motherboard.

Attention:

1.Position the fan with the retention mechanism on top of the

heatsink. Align and snap the four hooks of the retention

mechanism to the holes on each corner of the module base.

2.Make sure that the fan and retention mechanism assembly

perfectly fits the heatsink and module base, otherwise you

cannot snap the hooks into the holes.
