ASUS ESC8000 G3
2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with two surface mount LGA 2011-3 Socket R3 designed for the
Intel
®
Xeon
®
E5-2600 V3 series processor family.
2.3.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Remove the two (2) screws on each of the CPU air duct.
Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• 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 shoulders the repair cost 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 LGA
2011-3 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.
Remove the front cover, rear cover, and the GPU air duct before installing the CPU. For
more information, refer to the section
Chassis covers
and
GPU air duct
of this user guide.
