Motherboard Information
The motherboard comes with a ZIF Socket to support CPUs as listed
on section
3.1.1 Specifications
. The following illustration shows the
CPU socket location on the motherboard and the correct CPU
orientation.
Note in the illustration that CPUs have marks (usually a notch or a
gold mark on one corner) to help you identify the proper orientation
and enable you to correctly install a CPU. It is important that you
match the marked corner of the CPU with the corresponding corner
on the socket so as not to damage the CPU pins.
The CPU picture above is for reference only. Usually, when you buy
a CPU, the heatsink and fan are already attached to the CPU. If a
heatsink and fan did not come with the package, make sure you
obtain one before installing the CPU.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
WARNING!
You must install the proper heatsink and fan to the CPU. Failure to do
so will cause the CPU to overheat and may damage both the CPU
and the motherboard. Install an auxillary fan, if necessary.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting/unmounting
a clamp-style processor fan to avoid damaging the motherboard.
