This motherboard Provides a ZIF Socket-A. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: CPU Heat Sink Fan MUST be connected to the FAN1 in order

for the system to boot. The feature protects the motherboard and CPU

from the heat damage. By connecting the CPU Heat Sink Fan to FAN2 will

not enable this feature.

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.
