III. INSTALLATION

3.  Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a 387-pin ZIF Socket 8.  The CPU that came with the
motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating.  If this is not the
case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.  Apply thermal jelly to the
CPU top and then install the fan onto the CPU.

WARNING:  Without a fan circulating air on the CPU and heat sinks, the
CPU and/or heat sinks can overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the
motherboard.  (See "CPU Cooling Fan Connector” at the end of this section.)

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover.  Locate the ZIF
socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then
upwards to a 90-degree right angle.  Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as
shown.  Use the notched corner of the CPU with the white dot as your guide.  The
white dot should point towards the end the of the lever.  Notice that there is a blank
area where one hole is missing from that corner of the square array of pin holes and
a "1" printed on the motherboard next to that corner.  Because the CPU has a corner
pin for three of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the one orientation as
shown.  The picture is for reference only; you should have a CPU fan that will cover
the face of the CPU.  With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to
insert the CPU.  Once completely inserted, hold down on the fan and close the
socket's lever.
