• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure 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 LGA775 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.
• Make sure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• If installing a dual-core CPU, connect the chassis fan cable to the CHA_FAN1
connector to ensure system stability.
• Due to the chipset limitation, we recommend you use FSB 800MHz CPU or
above.
