Installing a CPU

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

the Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 processor in the 775-land package.

2.4.1

CPU installation

• Your boxed Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 LGA775 processor package should come

with installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention

mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU

documentation, follow the latter.

• Check your motherboard to make sure that the socket contacts are not

bent. Contact your retailer immediately if you see any damage to the socket

contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair

only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts

resulting from incorrect CPU installation or removal.

Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

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

and the load lever is on your left.
