Chapter 1: Product Introduction  
1.4 Before You Proceed  
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components  
or change any motherboard settings.  
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.  
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal  
object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to  
avoid damaging them due to static electricity.  
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.  
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic  
pad or in the bag that came with the component.  
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power  
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power  
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,  
peripherals, and/or components.  
Onboard LED  
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that  
the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you  
should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or  
plugging in any motherboard component.

K8V-MX CPU Socket 754  
Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and  
severely damage the CPU!  
1.6.2 Installing the CPU  
Follow these steps to install a CPU.  
1. Locate the 754-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard.  
2. Unlock the socket by pressing the  
lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90°  
-100° angle.  
Socket Lever  
Make sure that the socket lever  
is lifted up to 90°-100° angle,  
otherwise the CPU does not fit in  
completely.  
1-8  
Chapter 1: Product Introduction  
3. Position the CPU above the socket  
such that the CPU corner with the gold  
triangle matches the socket corner  
with a small triangle.  
4. Carefully insert the CPU into the  
socket until it fits in place.  
Gold triangle  
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the  
socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!  
5. When the CPU is in place, push down  
the socket lever to secure the CPU.  
The lever clicks on the side tab to  
indicate that it is locked.  
6. Install a CPU heatsink and fan  
following the instructions that came
