ASUS P5QL-EM 1-9
1.6.1 Installling the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the
Core™2 Quad / Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® Extreme
/ Pentium ® 4 and Celeron ® processors.
• Your boxed Intel ® Core™2 Quad / Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo
/ Pentium ® Extreme / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® 4 or Celeron ® 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.
