2.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA 1155 Socket designed for the Intel® Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge series processors. Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU. • 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 shoulders the repair cost 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 LGA1155 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. 2.2.1 Installing the CPU To install a CPU 1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. 2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), and then move it to the right (B) until it is released from the retention tab. To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU. ASUS RS300-E7/RS4 Load lever A B Retention tab 2-3
