When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are marked as "User Upgrade Optional" or "Manufacture Upgrade Optional". Although all of AOpen's motherboards have included many amazing and powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we define features that can be upgraded by users as "User Upgrade Optional". You can upgrade these functions by purchasing additional devices. As for functions that cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as "Manufacture Upgrade Optional". If need be, you can contact our local distributors or resellers to purchase "Manufacture Upgrade Optional" components, and again you are also welcome to visit our official website at english.aopen.com.tw for detail information. 19 MX46-800N / MX46-800L CPU Installation Online Manual This motherboard supports Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478 series CPU (Northwood CPU). Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket. 1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for mark on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the socket. ® CPU socket Lever CPU pin 1 and cut edge CPU cut edge Note: Those pictures are for example only; they may not look the same with the motherboard you purchased. 20
