Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

2.3

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the

Intel

®

Prescott/Smithfield/Cedarmill/ Conroe/Conroe L/Presler processor in the

775-land package

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

and the load lever is on your left.

• 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 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 LGA775 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.
