2. Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation of your Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor is crucial for optimal performance and system stability. Always ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before beginning installation.
2.1. Comprovació de compatibilitat
Verify that your motherboard is compatible with the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor. This processor requires an LGA 1851 socket and an Intel 800 Series Chipset based motherboard. Consult your motherboard's manual for specific compatibility information and BIOS/UEFI update requirements.
2.2. Passos d'instal·lació
- Prepareu la placa base: Open the CPU socket retention arm and lift the load plate.
- Handle the Processor: Carefully remove the processor from its packaging. Hold it by the edges to avoid touching the gold contacts or the integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Alinear i inserir: Align the triangular marker on the processor with the corresponding marker on the motherboard socket. Gently lower the processor into the socket without forcing it. It should sit flush.
- Assegurar el processador: Close the load plate and press down the retention arm until it clicks into place.
- Apply Thermal Solution: Apply a thin, even layer of high-quality thermal paste to the center of the processor's IHS. Install a compatible CPU cooler (not included with this processor) according to the cooler manufacturer's instructions. Ensure proper contact and pressure for effective heat dissipation.
- Connectar l'alimentació: Connecteu els cables d'alimentació de la CPU de la font d'alimentació a la placa base.
