Hardware Installation

2-1 Install Socket AM2 Supported AMD Processor

This motherboard provides a 940-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket,

referred to as the mPGA940 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 940 Pin package

utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array package technology.

The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent

overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on

your system.

WARNING!

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor's

heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may

cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install

an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and

open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree

angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner

should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the

four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket, no force require to insert of the CPU, then press

the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
