Overview

This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Module

(DIMM) sockets.

A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR3 DIMM but is notched

differently to prevent installation on a DDR3 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are developed

for better performance with less power consumption. The figure illustrates the location of the

DDR3 DIMM sockets:

Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

• 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 will shoulder the cost of repair 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

LGA1156 socket.

• 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.
