Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1.
Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing towards you and
the load lever is on your left.

Your boxed Intel
LGA775 processor package should come with installation
®
instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and retention mechanism. If the
instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the
latter.
Check your motherboard to 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 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 or removal.
