This socket supports FC-LGA4 CPU, which is the latest CPU package developed by 
Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in. 

1.

 

Pull CPU socket lever and plate up. 

2.

 

Remove plastic cap from CPU 
socket plate. 

3.

 

Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look 

for a golden arrow on the CPU 
upper interface. Match Pin 1 and 

golden arrow. Then insert the CPU 

into the socket. 

4.

 

Press down CPU socket plate and

3. Installing Memory Modules   

2. Installing CPU & System Fans 

  1. Installing CPU 

Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 4-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan, 
you can also plug it in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector. 

SYSFAN1 Connector 

CPUFAN Connector 

DIMM slots are designed in Navy Blue and Electronic Blue which are very easy to 
recognize. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and 
press down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place. 

4. Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables 

Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector FDD 
and IDE connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause 
system damage. 

FDD Connector 

Pin 1 

Note:  Some CPU fans 

do not have sensor pin so 
they cannot support fan 
monitoring. 

Warning: If you do not match the CPU 

socket Pin 1 and CPU golden arrow well, you 
may damage the CPU. And please don’t 
touch CPU socket pins when installing CPU. 

Note:

 

The tabs of 

the DIMM slot will 
close-up to hold the 
DIMM in place when the 
DIMM touches the slot’s 
bottom.
