WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1.
2.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

Please apply heatsink paste on the surface of
the installed CPU.
Fig. 2
( to remove the heatsink, turning the push pin along
the direction of arrow; and reverse the previous
step to install the heat sink.)
Please note the direction of arrow sign on the male
push pin doesn't face inwards before installation.
(This instruction is only for Intel boxed fan)
Fig. 3
Place the heatsink on top the CPU and make
sure the push pins align to the pin hole on the
motherboard.Push down the push pins
diagonally.
Fig. 4
Please make sure the Male and Female push pin
are brought together. (for detailed installation
instructions, please refer to the heatsink installation
section of the user manual)
Fig. 5
Please check the back side of teh motherboard.
Make sure the push pin is seated firmly as the
picture shown. Installation completed.
Fig. 6
Attach the power connector of the heatsink to the
CPU fan header located on the motherboard.

Installation Step:
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
4. When installing the DIMM into the DIMM module, we recommend to populate one DIMM in
Channel A module and one in Channel B module for best performance.
Please note that each logical DIMM must be madeof two identical DIMMs having the same
device size on each and the same DIMM size.
5. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
