2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1366 socket designed for the Intel ®
Core™ i7 Processor Extreme Edition / Core™ i7 Processor.
• 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
LGA1366 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.
• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• Connect the chassis fan cable to the CHA_FAN1 connector to ensure system stability.
