English 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 4 Step 1 Step 2 Step 4 Step 4 Step 3 Congratulations! You have accomplished the hardware installation! Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet.
English Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 2. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. Step 1-1: CPU Installation Socket Angling the rod to 650 Actuation Lever 2. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly. 1.
Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan. 2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor.
English Step 2: Install Memory Modules Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket.
English 1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIM M memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
English Step 3: Install expansion cards 1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer. 2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer. 3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard. 4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot. 5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card. 6. Replace your computer's chassis cover. 7.
