3.2 Installation You Have to Know

Installing CPU

This motherboard supports AMD®Athlon 64 Socket 754 CPU. Be careful of CPU

orientation when you plug it into CPU socket (with CPU Overheat Protection

function implemented, the system will be automatically power off when the

temperature of CPU reached 97 degree).

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper

interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the

socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation.
