MSI Reminds You...
1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
2.Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.
3. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap covered (shown in

4. Please note that the mating/unmating durability of the CPU is 20 cycles. Therefore we suggest you do not
plug/unplug the CPU too often.
