Chapter 2: Basic Setup
Basic Setup
NOTE: The installation diagrams in this section are for reference only. The motherboard layout may
vary with models, but the installation steps are the same for all models.
2.1
CPU installation
CAUTION!
• Ensure that you use a CPU designed for the AM5 socket. The CPU fits in only one correct
orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging
the CPU
• 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 will shoulder the
cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
IMPORTANT! Install a heatsink or AIO cooler after installing the CPU. Please refer to the
Motherboard Installation Guide on the ASUS support site, or to the user manual of the heatsink/
AIO cooler for steps on installing the heatsink/AIO cooler.
