Step 1 : Remove the socket protection cap.

Step 2: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree

angle.

Step 3: Look for the black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on CPU should point forwards

this black cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 4: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.

Step 5: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU FAN power cable to the

JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

CPU FAN Power Header: JCFAN1&2 (JCFAN2 is optional)

System Fan Power Header: JSFAN1

Note:

The JCFAN1 and JSFAN1 support system cooling fan with Smart Fan Control utility. It supports

3 pin head connector. When connecting with wires onto connectors, please note that the red

wire is the positive and should be connected to pin#2, and the black wire is Ground and should

be connected to GND.

2.5.1 DDR Module installation

1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such

that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the Slot.

2. Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining chip snap back in place

and the DIMM is properly seated.

Detail Settings

2.8

The illustration shows how to set up jumpers. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the

jumper is “close”, if not, that means the jumper is “open”.
