2.5 CPU installation

• Your boxed Intel

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 ensure that the PnP cap is on the CPU 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 LGA775 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.

2.5.1 Installing the CPU

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

the load lever is on your left.

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

To prevent damage to the

socket pins, do not remove

the PnP cap unless you are

installing a CPU.

2. Press the load lever with your thumb

(A), then move it to the left (B) until

it is released from the retention tab.
