1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and

the load lever is on your left.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with dual surface mount LGA 1366 Socket designed for

the Intel

®

Xeon 5500 series CPU in the Land Grid Array (LGA) package.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on

the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer

immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP

cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS shoulders the repair

cost only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return

Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes

with the cap on the Socket 1366.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts

resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/

incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
