Board Installation

4. Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan

Socket 7 processors (see Specifications

on page 5) can be used on the Trinity

ATX. Please refer to page 14 for the cor-

rect CPU jumper settings for your CPU.

Remember:

• The CPU is a sensitive electronic

component and it can easily be

damaged by static electricity. Do

not touch the CPU pins with your

fingers.

• Before the CPU is installed, the

mainboard must be placed on a flat

surface. You should be able to insert

the CPU with minimal, but firm,

pressure. Do not press down hard on the

CPU.

In Figure 2-6, you can see the CPU and the

ZIF socket. Notice that the arm of the ZIF

socket is up. When this arm is up, the CPU

is unlocked from the socket and allows

you to remove or install a CPU. As the ZIF

socket is keyed to the processor that you

are using, you will only be able to install

the CPU one way, thus eliminating the

chance for error. Pin 1 on the CPU is

denoted by a small dot on one of the corners and Pin 1 on the ZIF socket is

denoted by an angled corner. Never force a CPU into a socket. Forcing a CPU

to seat will bend the pins on the CPU and possibly damage the motherboard.

Check with your vendor or manufacturer for proper voltage selection.

Push down lightly on the CPU, and lower the arm on the ZIF socket to secure

the CPU. A squeaking noise is normal as the arm lowers. After the CPU is

securely seated, install the appropriate cooling device (Figure 2-7). Tyan

strongly recomends a heatsink/fan combination. Consult with your case

manufacturer for other cooling options.
