Chapter 2:  Hardware setup

2-4

To install a CPU:

1. 

Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load lever 

is on your left.

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA2011 socket designed for the  Intel

®

 Xeon 

E5-2600 family processor.

• 

Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and 

the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap 

is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard 

components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/

transit-related.

• 

Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise 

Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the 

LGA2011 socket.

• 

The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from 

incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP 

cap.
