Important

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 LGA1155 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.
Caution
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.
