MS-9899 CPU (Central Processing Unit) When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer. Important Overheating Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and mainboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
▍ Hardware Setup CPU Installation Locate the CPU socket on the mainboard. On the upper end of the CPU socket is a socket actuator in the form of a slotted screw head. To install the CPU, follow the steps shown below: Loosen the socket actuator with the parallel screw driver. 1. 2. Locate the golden cut edge on where the CPU should be installed. 3. Align the correct CPU orientation and insert the CPU into the socket. Note that the CPU will only fit in the socket when the CPU orientation is correct.
MS-9899 CPU Cooler Installation When the CPU installation is completed, please install the CPU cooler to prevent the CPU from overheating. 1. Remove the sticker film from the CPU cooler backplate. 2. Paste the backplate to be in line with the holes on the reverse side of the mainboard. 3. Place the CPU cooler onto the mainboard. 4. Screw it from corner to opposite corner not left to right or top to bottom. 5. Plug in the fan power cable.
▍ Hardware Setup Memory These DIMM slots are used fornstalling memory modules. 1. Unlock the DIMM slot by pushing the mounting clip to the side. Vertically insert the memory module into the DIMM slot. The memory module has an off-center notch on the bottom that will only allow it to fit one way into the DIMM slot. 2. Push the memory module deep into the DIMM slot.
