2.4 Installing a CPU
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor in the 775-land package.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing
towards you and the load lever is on your left.
To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap
unless you are installing a CPU.
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B)
until it is released from the retention tab.

• Your boxed Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 LGA775 processor 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.
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 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.
