Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Install expansion cards Step 4- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 2 Step 1 Step 4...
Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
Step 1-2 : CPU Cooling Fan Installation Before installing the CPU cool fan , adhere to the following warning: 1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan. 2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
Step 2: Install memory modules Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning: When DIMM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation.
Page 18
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
