The motherboard comes with a 940-pin AM2 socket designed for the AMD
Athlon™ 64 X2/Athlon™ 64/Athlon™ FX/Sempron™ processor.
The AM2 socket has a different pinout from the 939-pin socket
designed for the AMD Opteron™ processor. Make sure you use a CPU is
designed for the AM2 socket. The CPU fits in only one correct
orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending
the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
