PAGE 61
IMB-Q354 microATX Motherboard WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. Step 1: Remove the protective cover. Remove the black protective cover by prying it off the load plate. To remove the protective cover, locate the “REMOVE” sign and use your fingernail to pry the protective cover off. See Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2: Remove the CPU Socket Protective Shield Step 2: Open the socket.
PAGE 62
IMB-Q354 microATX Motherboard Figure 4-3: Open the CPU Socket Load Plate Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air. Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. Make sure the IHS (Integrated Heat Sink) side is facing upward. Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the CPU socket. Step 6: Align the CPU pins.
