1-5Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1155 socket designed for Intel

processors.

Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure 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

LGA1155 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.

1.3.1 Installing the CPU

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

do not remove the PnP cap unless

you are installing a CPU.

2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A),
