3.6.1 Installing the CPU and Terminator
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever
sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100°
angle.
3. Position the CPU above the socket such
that its notched or marked corner matches
the socket corner near the end of the lever,
while making sure that the CPU is parallel
to the socket.
4. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket
until it fits in place.
CAUTION! The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the
socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not
fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins.
5. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the
socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the socket indicating that it
is locked.
6. Install a CPU heatsink. Refer to the documentation that came with the heatsink.
7. Install the CPU terminator the same way
as you would install a CPU. The figure on
the right shows an installed CPU
terminator.
CAUTION! DO NOT install a heatsink on the terminator! It will cause system
damage!
