Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install the CPU and heatsink?
The manual outlines specific steps for both CPU installation (2.3) and subsequent installation of the fan and heatsink (2.4).
What should I check before installing software updates?
Refer to the Operating System's documentation, as motherboard settings vary; use the Support CD for general utility installation only (4.1 & 4.2).
How do I run the necessary drivers and utilities?
Insert the Support CD. If it doesn’t auto-run, double-click “ASSETUP.EXE” from the BIN folder. Use the Drivers Menu to install specific drivers and the Utilities Menu for applications.
