Chapter 2: Hardware information

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.
