    Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the Intel ® Xeon processor E-21xx / E-22xx product family, Intel 8th/9th Generation Core™ i3, Intel ® ® ® Pentium™, and Intel Celeron™ processors. ® • Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure 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. • 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 the CPU: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load lever is on your right. ASUS P11C-M/10G-2T...

  • Page 24: Installing The Cpu Heatsink

    2.3.2 Installing the CPU heatsink The Intel LGA1151 processor requires a specially designed CPU heatsink to ensure ® optimum thermal condition and performance. • When you buy a boxed Intel processor, a specially designed CPU heatsink or a ® CPU heatsink with a CPU fan assembly is included depending on the package. If you buy a CPU separately, ensure that you use only Intel certified multi-directional CPU ® heatsink or CPU heatsink with CPU fan. • Use an LGA1151-compatible CPU heatsink and CPU fan assembly only. The LGA1151 socket is incompatible with the LGA775 and LGA1366 sockets in size and dimension. If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that the Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly. Ensure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. To install the CPU heatsink and fan: Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.

  • Page 36: Jumpers

    Jumpers Clear RTC RAM jumper The Clear RTC RAM jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in the CMOS, which contains the date, time, system passwords, and system setup parameters. To erase the RTC RAM: Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. Move the jumper cap from pins 1–2 (default) to pins 2–3. Keep the cap on pins 2–3 for about 5–10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1–2. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to reenter data. DO NOT remove the jumper cap from its default position except when clearing the RTC RAM. Removing the jumper cap will cause system boot failure! • If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell battery and move the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button cell battery. • Due to chipset behavior, AC power off is required to enable C.P.R. function. You must turn off and on the power supply or unplug and plug the power cord before rebooting the system.
