Installing the CPU

Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

To protect the socket contacts, do not remove the protective plastic cover unless the CPU is

inserted into the CPU socket. Save the cover properly and replace it if the CPU is removed.

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same

capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the

memory to prevent hardware damage.

• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.

If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
