2.2 CPU installation
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1200 socket for Intel
®
Xeon
®
E-2300
processor (up to 95W) and Intel
®
Pentium™ processors.
• 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 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
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 you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1200 socket only. DO NOT install
a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA1200 socket.
Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load
lever is on your right.
