Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 processor in the 478 pin

package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU
installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat
sink and a cooling fan attached on the 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 dot/cut edge. The

dot/cut edge should point to-
wards 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.

CPU Installation Procedures
