2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with dual surface mount 604-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) sockets. The sockets are designed for the Intel Processor in
the 603/604-pin package with 512KB L2 cache. The processor includes
the Intel
®
NetBurst™ micro-architecture that features the hyper-pipelined
technology, rapid execution engine, 400MHz system bus, and execution
trace cache. Together, these attributes improve system performance by
allowing higher core frequencies, faster execution of integer instructions,
and data transfer rate of up to 3.2GB/s.
You may install Intel
®
Xeon™ CPUs that support Hyper-Threading
Technology. For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, visit
www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.
Note in the illustration that the CPU has a gold triangular mark on one
corner. This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a
specific corner of the CPU socket.
Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and
severely damage the CPU!
The motherboard supports either one or two CPUs. If you are installing
only one CPU, you MUST install it in CPU socket 1.
