AMD RS880 motherboard

Installing the CPU

Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure not to bend or break any pins on

the back. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom of the

processor.

Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.

1. Please turn off the power and unplug the power

cord before installing the CPU. Pull the lever up and

away from the socket until it is at a 90 degree angle

to the motherboard.

2. Look for the gold arrow on the CPU. The gold arrow

should point away from the lever pivot. The CPU can

only sit properly in the socket in the correct orientation.

3. If the CPU is correctly seated, the pins should be

completely embedded in the socket and can not be

seen (Please note that any deviation from the correct

installation procedures may cause permanent damage

to your motherboard).

4. Press the CPU down rmly into the socket and

close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while

the lever is being closed, always close the lever with

your ngers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to

make sure the CPU is properly and completely seated

in the socket.

5. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the

CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on

the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the

heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to

purchase and install them before turning on the

computer.

Installing the CPU Fan

There are many different fan types that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the

instruction that came with your fan assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct

for your chassis type and your fan assembly.
