LGA775 processor package should come with installation

instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in

this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.

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

socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately

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

pins/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 pins resulting

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

removal of the PnP cap.

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

the load lever is on your left.
