2.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with two surface mount LGA 2011-3 sockets designed for the Intel® Xeon E5-2600 v3 processor family. 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/transitrelated. • 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 LGA 2011-3 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. There's a screw at the left corner on the illustration below to secure the air duct (the three spots beside are for the position of the air duct). Remove the screw with a Philip screw driver and then remove the air duct. ASUS RS520-E8-RS8, RS520-E8-RS12-E 2-3

2.2

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with two surface mount LGA 2011-3 sockets designed for the Intel

Xeon E5-2600 v3 processor family.

2.2.1

Installing the CPU

To install a CPU:

There's a screw at the left corner on the illustration below to secure the air duct (the

three spots beside are for the position of the air duct). Remove the screw with a Philip

screw driver and then remove the air duct.

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 LGA

2011-3 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.
