BIOS Setup

Your boxed Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 Mobile processor package should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. 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 pins are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP
cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket
pins/motherboard components. Axiomtek will shoulder the cost of repair only if
the damage is shipment/transit-related.

Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. Axiomtek will process Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with
the cap on the FCPGA988 socket.

The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins resulting from
incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of
the PnP cap.

Install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before you install motherboard to the
chassis.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that you
have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink or CPU before
you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
