1-3 Installing the CPU
Read the following guidelines before you begin
to install the CPU:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU
support list.)
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet
before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.
• Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented
incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both
sides of the CPU and alignment keys
on the CPU socket.)
• Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.
• Do not turn on the computer if the
CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise
overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.
• Set the CPU host frequency in accordance
with the CPU specifications. It is
not recommended that the system bus
frequency be set beyond hardware specifications
since it does not meet the
standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the
frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so
according to your hardware specifications
including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive,
etc.
