English Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan. 2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.) 3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes the installation. Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation procedure. 1. Fasten the cooling fan supportingbase onto the CPU socket on the motherboard. 2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector, than install complete. - 13 - Hardware Installation Process

Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation
1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-
base onto the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning:
1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat
conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of
the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cool-
ing fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with
the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from
happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of
thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan
connector, this completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail
installation procedure.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged
to the CPU fan connector, than
install complete.
