Start To Handle 2-11 Aim the arrow marked on CPU at the first pin position on the socket. Don't worry!!CPU socket also has a foolproof device. You may find out the pin arrangement at four corners of CPU is different. Two of them have a bevel-angle, As long as you don't insert it too which is a foolproof. it is wrongly placed! hard, the CPU is unable to be located into the socket if After CPU is located in the socket, pull down the lever 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! 2-12 Start To Handle Set up the cooling fan above the CPU socket. Get the clip 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 clip scratching the motherboard; otherwise it may cause serious damage!Use a tool to place the clip at the other side into the tenon. Lastly, plug in the fan connector. Be aware of its direction. Start To Handle 2-13 Set Up Pentium 4 CPU With the increasing popularity of Pentium4 CPU in the market, we considerately introduce CPU installation of Pentium4 in this section. 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 2-14 Start To Handle 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 is different. Two of them have a bevel-angle, which is for foolproof 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 2-15 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 iron sticks to get hooked on the retention module. At last, plug in the fan connector. Be aware of its direction. 2-16 Start To Handle 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 Start To Handle 2-17 2. 7 Plug In Memory The DIMM modules available on the market belong to several standard modules. The pictures shown below are the most common use ones. [. . . ] The final thing to do is to put both sides of housings back. Then it is all done! Relocate both sides of the housing. Please note that you have to locate the hooks of the side housing into the holes on the frame to cover it securely. Tighten screws.
