Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD
®
Duron
TM
/ Athlon processors. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation.
Make sure that the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to
prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan,
contact your dealer or purchase them before turning on the computer.
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and
system. After inserting the Heat Sink and cooling fan
, check if the cooling fan can work properly to protect
the CPU.
!
WARNING!
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise the
lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the cut edge. The
cut edge should point
towards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the
correct orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.
