ASUS P7F-E 2-9

2.3.1 Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

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

the load lever is on your left.

2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1156 socket designed for the

Intel

Xeon 3400 series Processors.

• 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 LGA1156 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.

To prevent damage to the socket

pins, do not remove the PnP cap

unless you are installing a CPU.
