Installing the CPU


The IB946 board supports a Socket P processor socket for Intel® Core

TM

2 Duo, Intel® Celeron mobile processors.
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As
shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the
screw. Refer to the figures below.



NOTE: Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in

total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.


WARNING: The CN4 power connector provides the 12V power to the

CPU and must be used. When CN4 is not used, only one
pin from the goldfinger/backplane is providing 12V, and
in the long term this could cause the goldfinger to be
burnt.
