CPU
The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1155 socket. This socket is exclu-
sively designed for installing a LGA 1155 packaged Intel CPU.
Protective
cap
Important:
1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1155 socket comes with a protective
cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent. If
the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact pins are damaged, contact your dealer
immediately.
2. Make sure to keep the protective cap. RMA requests will be accepted and pro-
cessed only if the LGA 1155 socket comes with the protective cap.
Note:
The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual
board. These illustrations are for reference only.
Important:
The CPU socket must not come in contact with anything other than the CPU. Avoid
unnecessary exposure. Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install
the CPU.
