Protective
cap
Important:
1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1150 socket comes with a protective
cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent.
If the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact pins are damaged, contact your
dealer immediately.
2. Make sure to keep the protective cap. RMA requests will be accepted and pro-
cessed only if the LGA 1150 socket comes with the protective cap.
4.
The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1150 socket. This socket is exclu-
sively designed for installing a LGA 1150 packaged Intel CPU.
5. Unlock the socket by pushing the load lever down, moving it sideways until it is released
from the retention tab; then lift the load lever up.
