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.
