1-3 Installing the APU

Installing the APU

A. Locate the pin one (denoted by a small triangle) of the APU socket and the APU.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the APU:

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the APU.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest APU support list.)

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

the APU to prevent hardware damage.

• Locate the pin one of the APU. The APU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly.

• Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the APU.

• Do not turn on the computer if the APU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and dam-

age of the APU may occur.

• Set the APU host frequency in accordance with the APU specications. It is not recommended

that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications since it does not meet the

standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard

specications, please do so according to your hardware specications including the APU, graph-

ics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
