ASUS TS500-E5 ユーザーズマニュアル

Chapter 2:  Hardware setup

2-4

To install a CPU:
1.  Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA771 socket designed for the 

Intel

®

 Xeon

®

 Dual/Quad Core processor.

•  Your boxed Intel

®

 Xeon

®

 LGA771 processor package should come with 

installation instructions for the CPU and heatsink. 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 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 LGA771 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.

•  If you install only one CPU, install the CPU to the CPU2 socket only. The 

system will not boot and the CPU warning LED will light up if a single CPU 

is installed on the CPU1 socket.

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you 

and the load lever is on your left.
