Hardware Setup Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Hardware Setup 2 This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components.
Chapter 2 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. CPU Installation Procedures Open Lever 1.
Hardware Setup Installing the CPU Fan As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU. Follow the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan: 1. Locate the CPU and its retention mechanism on the motherboard. 2. Position the heatsink onto the retention mechanism. retention mechanism 3. Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
