CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 INST ALLING CENT RAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Step 1: Remove the socket protection cap.

Step 2: Pull the lever toward direction A from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step 3: Look for the white triangle on socket, and the gold triangle on

CPU should point towards this white triangle. The CPU will fit only

in the correct orientation.

T F7050 -M2/T F7025-M2

11

Step 4: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever toward direct

B to complete the installation.

Step 5: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU

FAN power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.
