2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a surface mount SP5 LGA6096 socket designed for the AMD EPYC™ 9004 series processors (up to 400W). 2.3.1 • 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 bear the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transitrelated.
2. Loosen the screw on the socket to open the load plate. A T20 screwdriver with a torque value of 13.5±1.0 kgf-cm is recommended. 3. Lift open the rail frame, then slide the external cap out of the rail frame. Load plate External cap Load plate Rail frame Rail frame External cap 4. Slide the carrier frame with CPU into the rail frame, then remove the PnP cap. The carrier frame with CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the carrier frame with CPU into the rail frame.
5. Gently close the rail frame just enough to let it sit on top of the CPU socket. 6. Close the load plate just enough to let it sit on top of the CPU, then secure the load plate using the screw on the socket. A T20 screwdriver with a torque value of 13.5±1.0 kgf-cm is recommended.
7. Place the heatsink on the CPU socket and make sure the heatsink screws are aligned with the CPU socket. 8. Partially tighten each of the six screws with a screwdriver in the order shown both in the illustration and on the heatsink just enough to attach the heatsink to the motherboard. When the six screws are attached, tighten them one by one in the same order to completely secure the heatsink. • The heatsink screws are T20 models. A torque value of 13.5±1.0kg-cm (11.7±0.9 lbfin) is recommended.
9. 2-12 Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN1.
