Preparing the Case and Installing a Power Supply
UsingtheGIGABYTEdesktopsystemasthedemonstrationexample,pleaserst
remove both sides and the lid of the case in order to install the power supply.
Place the power supply in the correct place in the case and secure it with screws.
Installation and placement of the power supply may differ depending on the type
of case used.
To ensure sufcient power can be supplied to your system, it is
recommended that a power supply of good quality be used. If a power
supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can
lead to an unstable or unbootable system.
• Do not force the CPU into the CPU socket. The CPU cannot t in if oriented incorrectly. Adjust the CPU
orientation if this occurs.
• DO NOT touch socket contacts. To protect the CPU socket, always replace the protective socket cover
when the CPU is not installed.
