CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU,
make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on
the top to prevent overheating.
If you do not have the cooler, contact your dealer
to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. Meanwhile, do not
forget to apply some silicon heat transfer compound on CPU before installing the heat
sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion. Follow the steps below to install the CPU &
cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.
1. The CPU has a land side cover on
the bottom to protect the CPU con-
tact from damage. Rotate it to make
the pin 1 indicator (yellow triangle)
in the right-bottom corner.
2.
Take out the accompanying CPU Clip
and rotate it for the same direction
as the CPU (Pin 1 indicator is in the
left-bottom corner).
3.
Use 2 hands to remove the land side
cover (if any). Please note not to
touch the pins.
4. Align the two pin 1 indicators (the
triangles on the CPU & the CPU Clip),
and use the CPU Clip to clip the CPU
up, pressing the clips on both sides
to the center, as the arrows shown.
