2.1 CPU Sockets This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may choose to install either Intel 775-Pin CPU or Intel 478-Pin CPU into this motherboard. However, to avoid instability and damage to the system, please do not install both of them into this motherboard. Important: If you install a 775-Pin CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to adjust the setting of J1--J6, J8--J14, J17, J18, and J21 Jumpers by shorting pin1 and pin2 of all these 16 sets of jumpers. These jumpers are set to support 478-Pin CPU by shorting pin2 and pin3 by default. Please refer to the figure below for these jumpers' location on the motherboard.
