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.
