Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® LGA775 socket for
Intel® Core™2 Quad / Core™2 Duo CPU processors.
 Make sure the AC power is off before you install the CPU.
 If installing a CPU, connect the CPU fan cable to the
CPU_FAN1 connector to ensure system stability.
 Your boxed Intel® LGA775 socket for Intel® Core™2 Quad / Core™2 Duo
CPU processors package should come with installation instructions for the
CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section
do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
 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. Your place of purchase or local distributor
will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
 Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. Your place of purchase or local
distributor 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.
