HP a7v133-vm User Manual

3. HARDWARE SETUP

1. Locate the Socket 462 and open it by pulling

the lever gently sideways away from the socket.
Then lift the lever upwards.  The socket lever
must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees).

2. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The

notched corner of the CPU must be oriented
toward the inner corner of the socket base
nearest to the lever hinge.

  The CPU fits in one orientation

and should drop easily into place. Do not force
the CPU into the socket to avoid bending the
pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its
alignment and look for bent pins.

3. Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until it

snaps into its locked position.

4. Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU.  The heatsink should entirely cover

the CPU.  Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the
socket base.  With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace,
no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place.

The motherboard provides a Socket 462 or Socket A for CPU installation. A fan and
heatsink should be attached to the CPU to prevent overheating. Purchase and install
a fan and heatsink before turning on the system.

  Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a

clamp-style processor fan, or else damage may occur.  When mounting a heatsink
onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not touch the
heatsink, or else damage may occur!   Refer to heatsink/CPU documentation.

  Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (available

only on unlocked processors) to avoid start-up problems.
