2. Informació de seguretat
Please read and follow these safety guidelines to prevent damage to the processor or other components, and to ensure personal safety:
- Precaucions de descàrrega electrostàtica (ESD): Always handle the processor by its edges. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or frequently touch a grounded metal object before handling to discharge static electricity.
- Apagar: Assegureu-vos que el sistema informàtic estigui completament apagat i desendollat de la presa de corrent abans d'instal·lar o treure qualsevol component.
- Compatibilitat de sòcols: Only install the processor into a compatible LGA1200 socket. Forcing the processor into an incompatible socket can cause irreversible damage.
- Pasta tèrmica: Apply thermal paste correctly between the processor and the heatsink to ensure proper heat dissipation. Insufficient or improperly applied thermal paste can lead to overheating.
- Vores esmolades: Be cautious of sharp edges on computer cases and components during installation.
- Ventilació: Ensure adequate airflow within your computer case to prevent overheating of components.

4. Configuració i instal·lació
Follow these steps to install your Intel Core i5-11500 processor:
- Prepara la placa base: Ensure your motherboard is compatible with the LGA1200 socket and has a 500 series or select 400 series chipset. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions.
- Obriu el sòcol de la CPU: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. Gently push down the load lever and pull it away from the socket to open the load plate.
- Instal·lar el processador: Carefully align the processor with the socket. The processor has two notches that align with keys on the socket. Ensure the gold triangle on the processor aligns with the triangle on the socket. Lower the processor straight down into the socket without applying force.
- Processador segur: Close the load plate over the processor, then push the load lever back into its locked position. This will secure the processor in the socket.
- Apply Thermal Paste (if not pre-applied): If your cooler does not have pre-applied thermal paste, apply a small amount (pea-sized dot) to the center of the processor's integrated heat spreader.
- Instal·leu el refrigerador de CPU: Place the Intel Laminar RM1 cooler onto the processor, aligning the four push-pins with the holes on the motherboard. Press down on each pin until it clicks into place. Connect the cooler's 4-pin power cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
- Connectar l'alimentació: Connect the 8-pin (or 4+4-pin) CPU power cable from your power supply to the motherboard.
