Overview

The motherboard comes with dual surface mount 940-pin Zero Insertion

Force (ZIF) sockets designed for AMD Opteron™ 64 processors.

The 128-bit-wide data paths of these processors can run applications

faster than processors with only 32-bit or 64-bit wide data paths.

Take note of the notched corner on

the CPU. This corner should match a

specific corner on the socket to

ensure correct installation.

Installing the CPU

Note in the above illustration that the CPU has a notched corner. This

corner indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a specific corner of

the CPU socket.

Before installing the CPU, remove the chassis fan attached to the inner

side of the rear panel to allow enough space for the installation. Refer to

section "2.10 Removable components" for details.

If installing only one CPU, use the CPU socket marked CPU1.
