[. . . ] Let's take a look at their positions: Just tighten the screws respectively. Here we use screws NO1. How tight should we screw? Tighten the screws moderately. Tightening screws too hard may cause motherboard damage. Start To Handle 2-11 2. 6 Set Up CPU When setting up CPU, please don't go wrong with the direction of CPU. First of all, let's have a look at what CPU is like: It is very easy to Note that the arrow indicates the first pin As shown in the picture, it's FC-PGA CPU of Intel Pentium III, which is the so-called Socket370 CPU. There are still many other varieties of CPU available on the market. Please pay attention to the model when you buy one. It should be consistent with your motherboard. What we introduce here is Intel's Pentium III. Pull open the rod next to CPU socket to 90 degrees Pull outward the rod beside the CPU socket and pull it upward vertically 2-12 Start To Handle Aim the arrow mark on CPU at the first pin in the socket Don't worry!!CPU socket also has a fool-proof device. You may find the pin arrangement at four corners of CPU are different. Two of them have a bevel-angle which is for fool-proof purpose. As long as you don't insert it too hard, the CPU is unable to be located into the socket if it is wrongly placed! After CPU is located in the socket, pull down the rod and click to the tenon. Beware of CPU pins! When setting up CPU, please be careful not to crook the pins or CPU can't be properly located into the socket! Start To Handle 2-13 Set up the cooling fan above the CPU socket Get the iron piece of the cooling fan hooked by the tenon above the socket. Be careful not to scratch the motherboard! When setting up the cooling fan, please avoid the iron piece scratching the motherboard, otherwise it may cause serious damage! Use a tool to place the other side of iron piece into the tenon. At last, plug in the fan connector. Be aware of its direction. 2-14 Start To Handle Set Up Pentium 4 CPU With the increasing popularity of Pentium4 CPU in the market, we considerately introduce CPU installation of Pentium4 in this chapter. As with setting up all types of CPU, please don't go wrong with the direction, let's take a look at Pentium4 CPU itself. Note that the arrow indicates the first pin As shown in the picture, it's a Micro FC-PGA CPU of Intel Pentium4, which is the so-called Socket478 CPU. Please pay attention to the model when you buy one. It should be consistent with your motherboard. Pull open the rod next to CPU socket to 90 degrees Pull outward the rod beside the CPU socket and pull it upward vertically Start To Handle 2-15 Aim the arrow mark on CPU at the first pin in the socket Don't worry!!CPU socket also has a foolproof device. You may find the pin arrangement at four corners of CPU are different. Two of them have a bevel-angle which is for fool-proof purpose. As long as you don't insert it too hard, the CPU is unable to be located into the socket if it is wrongly placed! After CPU is located in the socket, pull down the rod and click to the tenon. Beware of CPU pins! When setting up CPU, please be careful not to crook the pins or CPU can't be properly located into the socket! 2-16 Start To Handle Set up the cooling fan above the CPU socket Motherboard for Pentium4 CPU usually comes with a special-designed retention module which is as shown below. Be careful not to scratch the motherboard! When setting up the cooling fan, please avoid the iron piece scratching the motherboard; otherwise it may cause serious damage! Press the iron stick to get hooked on the retention module. At last, plug in the fan connector. Be aware of its direction. Start To Handle 2-17 Connect ATX power cord to the motherboard Before connecting 20-pin ATX power connector to transmit the current of the power supplier to the motherboard, please remember to plug in the 4-pin power connector at the first place. Still pay attention to the direction when you plug it in. Be careful the direction of tenon when plugging Be careful the direction of tenon when plugging 2-18 Start To Handle 2. 7 Plug In Memory The memory modules available on the market all belong to 168-pin standard. [. . . ] Compared to the above pictures, you can easily tell their differences. Check What You've Achieved 3-1 Connect keyboard and mouse Connect monitor and tighten screws Connect the D Type 15-pin plug of the monitor cable to the monitor connector at the back of bare-system and tighten the screws. If the module you choose doesn't have a VGA function, please note that the connector position is different. Remember to tighten screws after connecting. 3-2 Check What You've Achieved Connect the multimedia speaker Connect the jacks of the multimedia speakers as marked. The device conformed to PC99 standard has been marked by certain colors. You won't get wrong if you follow those marked colors. Connect network cable If the model you choose has a built-in network function on the motherboard or you have installed an Ethernet network card, please remember to connect RJ-45 network cable. Motherboard with a built-in network function Motherboard without a built-in network function Check What You've Achieved 3-3 Connect telephone cable You can install an internal modem card to allow your computer linking with the colorful Internet cyber world via a phone line.
