2-4 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on
the label area. Also, improper CPU installation or socket/pin misalignment can cause
serious damage to the CPU or the motherboard that will require RMA repairs. Be sure
to read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing your CPU and heatsink.
Notes:
•Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, re-
moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
•If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-
directional heatsink only.
•Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsink.
•When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that
the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
