HARDWARE SETUP 
This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as 
well as how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on 
connecting the peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the 
installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. 
CPU & Cooler Installation Procedures for LGA775 
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to 
prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before 
installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.  
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the 
damage of your CPU & mainboard. 
 
Introduction to LGA 775 CPU 
 
The pin-pad side of LGA 775 CPU.    The surface of LGA 775 CPU.  
 
1. The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact 
from damage. Before you have installed the CPU, always 
cover it to protect the socket pin. 
2. Remove the cap from lever hinge side.  
3. The pins of socket reveal.  
4. Open the load lever.  
5. Lift the load lever up and open the load plate. 
6. After confirming the CPU direction for correct mating, put 
down the CPU in the socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp 
on the edge of the CPU base. Note that the alignment keys
