motherboard into place using the screws included with your motherboard. Screw locations
should match up to locations on your case.
2. Mounting CPU – Mount your CPU on your Motherboard. Be extremely carfulcareful when
mounting your CPU because it contains many small pins (tiny metal needles). Raise
the locking leaver on the motherboard. Pay attention to the shape of the pins on the
CPU and the shape of the holes on your motherboard and make sure to match up the
orientation. Then lower the locking leaver to keep the CPU in place.

ports. If using 1 or 2 sticks refer to the motherboard manual to what ports use.

options for hard drive (SSDSolid State or SSD, M.2 and Standard or HDD). All are
relatively easy to add to your computer. Consult your case manual for instructions
on mounting SSD and HDD and your motherboard manual for mounting a M.2.

components into the motherboard. Apply cooling gel if needed and screw the cooler
in the four locations around the CPU and wire it to the CPU cooler port on the
motherboard.

youryou do because the graphics card is large and takes up a lot of room in your
case. Take out as many treys (metal slots held in by a thumb screw) from the back of
your case as required for your graphics card and insert it into the designated port.
Mount it with the thumb screws removed when taking out the treys and bring it power
from the Power Supply.

drive and begin using your brand newbrand-new PC.
