WARNING: Without a fan, the CPU can overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the motherboard. (See "CPU Cooling Fan Connector" in this section). To install a CPU, locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket's "Lock" then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.

III. INSTALLATION
3.
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard provides a 387-pin ZIF Socket 8.
The CPU that came with the
motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating.
If this is not the
case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
Apply thermal jelly to the
CPU top and then install the fan onto the CPU.
WARNING:
Without a fan, the CPU can overheat and cause damage to both the
CPU and the motherboard.
(See "CPU Cooling Fan Connector" in this section).
To install a CPU, locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways
away from the socket's "Lock" then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.
Insert the
CPU with the correct orientation as shown.
Look to see that the pins are more dense
on one half compared to the other half.
The picture is for reference only, you should
have a CPU fan that will cover the face of the CPU.
With the added weight of the
CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU.
Once completely inserted, hold
down on the fan and close the socket's lever.
IMPORTANT:
You must set the "CPU External Clock (BUS) Frequency Se-
lection" and "CPU to BUS Frequency Ratio" depending on the CPU that you
install.
