2-6 Chapter 2: Hardware information
2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with dual surface mount Socket L1 (1207FX) designed for
the AMD CPU in the Land Grid Array (LGA) package.
• 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 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 Socket L1 (1207FX).
• 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.
2.3.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
• Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards
you and the load lever is on your left.
• When installing only one CPU, always install the CPU on the CPU0
socket; otherwise, the system will not boot up.
