Install the CPU

Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU :

■ MakesurethatthemotherboardsupportstheCPU.

■ Alwaysturnoffthecomputerandunplugthepowercordfromthepowersupply

before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

■ LocatethepinoneoftheCPU.TheCPUcannotbeinsertediforiented

incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and

alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

■ ApplyanevenandthinlayerofthermalgreaseonthesurfaceoftheCPU.

■ DonotturnonthecomputeriftheCPUcoolerisnotinstalled,otherwise

overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.

Follow the steps to install the CPU onto the CPU socket :

Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.

2.LiftthemetalcoverontheCPUsocket.

3. Remove protective socket cover.

5. When CPU is properly seated,

replace the metal cover and push the

CPU socket lever back to its locked

position.

4. Check pin one marking (triangle)

with the pin one corner of the CPU

socket, align the CPU notches with

the socket alignment keys and gently

put the CPU onto the socket.

1. Release the CPU socket lever.

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease may

adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage the CPU.

Install the CPU Cooler

Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard.

1. Apply and spread an even thermal

grease on the surface of CPU.

2. Place the four bolts of the CPU

cooler to the holes of the motherboard,

push them straight down from the top,

and the bolts will be fastened on the

motherboard. That's it.

3. Check the solder side of the

motherboard, the push pin should

2-3 Install an Expansion Card

Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot.

1. Locate an expansion slot that supports your card. Remove the metal slot cover from the chassis

back panel.

2.Alignthecardwiththeslot,andpressdownonthecarduntilitisfullyseatedintheslot.

3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot.

4.Securethecard'smetalbrackettothechassisbackpanelwithascrew.

5. After installing all expansion cards, replace the chassis cover.

6. Turn on your computer. If necessary, go to BIOS Setup to make any required BIOS changes

for your expansion card(s).

7. Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.

Installing and Removing a PCI Express x16 Graphics Card:

• Installing a Graphics Card:

Gently insert the graphics card into the PCI Express x16 slot.

Make sure the graphics card is locked by the latch at the end of

the PCI Express x16 slot.

• Removing the Card:

Push the latch at the end of the PCI Express x16 slot to

release the card and then pull the card

straight up from the slot.
