To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
1.3
Central Processing Unit (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.
• 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. Advansus will shoulder the
cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
•
Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. Advansus 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.
