• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure 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

of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes

with the cap on the LGA1156 socket.
