2.2.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA2011 socket designed for the
Intel
®
Xeon E5-4600 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.
Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing towards you and
the load lever is on your left.
