ASUS M5A88-V EVO 2-5

Chapter 2

2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with an AM3+ socket designed for FX™ / Phenom™ II / Athlon™ II /

Sempron™ 100 series processors.

The AM3+ socket has a different pinout from the AM2+/AM2 socket. Ensure that you use a

CPU designed for the AM3+ socket. The CPU ts in only one correct orientation. DO NOT

force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!

Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

2.3.1 Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Ensure that the socket lever is lifted up

to a 90º angle. Otherwise, the CPU will

not t in completely.

2. Press the lever sideways to unlock the

socket, then lift it up to a 90º angle.
