Chapter 2: Hardware information

2.3.1

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 LGA771 socket designed for the

Intel

®

Xeon

®

Dual Core processor.

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

and the load lever is on your left.

• Your boxed Intel

®

Xeon

®

LGA771 processor package should

come with installation instructions for the CPU and heatsink. If the

instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the

latter.

• 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 LGA771 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.
