CPU installation

Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

• Your boxed Intel

®

LGA775 processor package should come with installation

instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and 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 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 socket contacts/

motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the

damage is shipment/transit-related.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts

resulting from incorrect CPU installation or removal.

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

the load lever is on your left.
