Processor Installation

Notes:

• When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

• Use a T20 screwdriver when opening/closing the CPU socket.

• Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an AMD-certified multi-directional heatsink only.

• Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.

• When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.

Heatsink and Processor Installation

Using a diagonal pattern, tighten the four screws down on the heatsink in a clockwise fashion till it is secure. The heatsink will now be secured and you have finished installing the processor and heatsink onto the motherboard. Repeat this procedure for any remaining CPU sockets on the Motherboard.

Un-installing the Processor and Heatsink

If you are re-seating Processor and Heatsink, keep note of the direction of the fan placement to avoid installing the CPU in the incorrect direction.

Remove the heatsink attached to the top of the CPU Package by reversing loosening the screw order from above.
