Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD
®
Athlon™ and Duron™ processors.
The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation.
Make sure the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached on top to
prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan,
contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the
computer.
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the cut edge. The
cut edge should point
towards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the
correct orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.
