Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with dual surface mount Socket (1207 pin) designed for

the AMD CPU in the Land Grid Array (LGA) package.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure 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 (1207 pin).

• 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.

2.3.1

Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

• Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards

you and the load lever is on your left.

• When installing only one CPU, always install the CPU on the CPU0

socket; otherwise, the system will not boot up.
