Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard. . Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. 2. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU. The gold arrow should point as shown in the picture. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation. 3. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your mainboard. 4. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket. 5. Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook first. 6. Then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it . 7. Fasten down the lever. 8. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the mainboard. Important * While disconnecting the Safety Hook from the fixed bolt, it is necessary to keep an eye on your fingers, because once the Safety Hook is disconnected from the fixed bolt, the fixed lever will spring back instantly. * Read the CPU status in BIOS. * Please refer to the documentation in the CPU fan package for more details about the CPU fan installation. 16
