ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M Motherboard
2.1 CPU Installation
Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 o
angle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket so that the CPU corner
with the golden triangle matches the small triangle on the socket’s
corner.
Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force
the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.
Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you
push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks
on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary
to install a compatible heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat.
You also need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and
the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the
CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good con-
tact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU FAN
connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 2, No. 5 or CPU_FAN2, see
Page 2, No. 6). For proper installation, please kindly refer to the
instruction manual of the CPU fan and the heatsink.
