2.3.1 Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

2.3

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for

the Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 processor in the 775-land package

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards

you and the load lever is on your left.

• 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 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 LGA775 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.
