[. . . ] The gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your mainboard. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket. 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. Press down the fan until its four clips get wedged in the holes of the retention mechanism. Press the two levers down to fasten the fan. The CPU_FAN (processor fan) and SYS_FAN (system fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan. Ports support 1st generation Serial ATA data rates of 150MB/s and are fully compliant with Serial ATA 1. Each Serial ATA connector can connect to 1 hard disk drive. The mainboard provides two front panel connectors for electrical connection to the front panel switches and LEDs. This connector is used to connect SPDIF (Sony & Philips Digital Interconnect Format) interface for digital audio transmission. 0 technology increases data transfer rate up to a maximum throughput of 480Mbps, which is 40 times faster than USB 1. Note that the pins of VCC and GND must be connected correctly or it may cause some damage. Both are 16550A high speed communication ports that send/receive/ 16 bytes FIFOs.
