2. Настройка и установка

This section provides general guidelines for installing your AMD A4-3400 APU. Always refer to your motherboard's specific instruction manual for detailed, model-specific installation procedures, as steps may vary.

2.1 Меры предосторожности

• Перед началом установки убедитесь, что компьютер выключен и отсоединен от розетки.
• Discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal object (e.g., the computer chassis) or by wearing an anti-static wrist strap.
• Handle the APU by its edges only. Avoid touching the gold contacts or the pins (if applicable).

2.2 APU Installation Steps

1. Подготовьте материнскую плату: Locate the Socket FM1 on your motherboard. Open the CPU socket lever.
2. Insert the APU: Carefully align the triangular mark on the APU with the corresponding mark on the socket. Gently lower the APU into the socket without forcing it. If it does not seat easily, re-check alignment.
3. Secure the APU: Close the CPU socket lever to secure the APU in place.
4. Нанесите термопасту: Apply a small amount of high-quality thermal paste (typically a pea-sized dot) to the center of the APU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
5. Установка кулера для процессора: Mount the CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure it makes firm, even contact with the APU's IHS. Connect the CPU cooler fan cable to the designated header on the motherboard (usually labeled "CPU_FAN").
6. Подключите питание: Подключите все необходимые кабели питания к материнской плате и другим компонентам.

After installation, power on your system and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup to verify that the APU is recognized correctly and to configure any necessary settings.
