2-3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The Motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370 and a SLOT 1. The CPU that came
with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If
this in not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. Be sure
that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor heat sink, or the
processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then
upwards to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as
shown. The notched corner should point towards the end of the lever. Because
the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only be fitted in
the orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only: you should have a
CPU fan that covers the top side of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU
fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the
socket lever while holding down the CPU.

Always unplug the power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your motherboard and expansion cards.
