To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 2- Install memory modules

Hardware Installation Process

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:
1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent

irreparable damage.

3. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper

installation. Please change the insert orientation.

4. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan.
5. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent

damage will result.

6. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.

We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,
Memory, Cards…etc.
