Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP caps are on the sockets
and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP caps
are missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP caps/socket contacts/motherboard
components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/
transit-related.
Keep the caps after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the caps on the
sockets.
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
caps.
