2.4 Installing the CPU
The ASUS motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket
designed for the Intel
® Pentium ® 4 processor in the 775-land package.
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards
you and the load lever is on your left.
• Your boxed Intel ® Pentium ® 4 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 make sure that the socket contacts are
not bent. Contact your retailer immediately 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.

CPU Socket 775
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B)
until it is released from the retention tab.
