ASUS P5GV-MX 1-9
1.6.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor in the 775-land package.
• Your boxed Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 LGA775 processor package should
come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink
assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is
on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer
immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to
the PnP cap/socket pins/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 LGA775 socket.
• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/
loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing
towards you and the load lever is on your left.
