Hardware Installation Process Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Install expansion cards Step 4- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 5- Setup BIOS software Step 6- Install supporting software tools Step 3 Step 2 Step 4 Step 1 Step 5 Step 4 Step 4 Step 1 9 Step 2
GA-2CEWH Motherboard Step 1: Installing Processor and CPU Cooling Fan Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following cautions: 1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent irreparable damage. 2. Never force the processor into the socket. 3. Apply thermal grease on the processor before placing cooling fan. 4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 5.
Hardware Installation Process Figure 3. A1 pin location on the Socket and Processor.Move the socket lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the processor. Step 4. When the processor installation is completed, apply thermal grease to the processor(as shown in Figure 4) prior to installing the heatsink. AMD recommends using a high thermal conductivity grease for the thermal interface material rather than a phase change material.
GA-2CEWH Motherboard Step1-2: Installing Cooling Fan Step 1. Attach th cooling fan clip to the processor scoket. Align the heatsink assembly with the support frame mating with the backer plate standoffs as shown in Figure 5&6. Step 2. Coonect the processor fan cable to the processor fan connector. Note: ** We recommend you to buy the kind of cooling fan which is shown in Figure 8. This type of cooling fan will provide the best performance for heat releasing.
Hardware Installation Process Step 2: Install memory modules Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning: Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. The motherboard has 8 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size.
