Overview

The motherboard comes with dual surface mount 940-pin Zero Insertion

Force (ZIF) sockets designed for AMD Opteron™ 64 processors.

The 128-bit-wide data paths of these processors can run applications

faster than processors with only 32-bit or 64-bit wide data paths.

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

towards you and the load lever is on your left.

• If installing only one CPU, use the CPU socket marked CPU1.

Take note of the notched corner on

the CPU. This corner should match a

specific corner on the socket to

ensure correct installation.
