CPU Processor Installation

This mainboard supports Intel

Pentium

4 processors using a Socket-478.

Before installation of your CPU, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the

processor installation procedures. http://www.intel.com

CPU Socket-478 Configuration Steps:

1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the

socket. Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.

2. On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will

have a cut-corner on the rectangular shaped pattern of pin holes on the socket.

Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the

CPU onto the socket. The bottom of CPU should be flush with the face of socket.

3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.

4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU

and use the clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the

power cable from the fan and insert it onto the CPUFAN adapter.

Attention: Overheating can damage the CPU and other sensitive

components. Verify that the heatsink is properly installed and make sure

the CPU fan is connected.
