Important:
1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1151 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 processed only if the LGA 1151 socket comes with
the protective cap.
Note:
The system board used in the following illustrations may not
resemble the actual board. These illustrations and photos are for
reference only.
Important:
The CPU socket must not come in contact with anything
other than the CPU. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Remove the
protective cap only when you are about to install the CPU.
