ASUS AP2400R-E1 2U barebone server
Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and
severely damage the CPU!
To install the CPUs:
1. Locate the CPU1 socket on the
motherboard. Flip up the socket
lever and push it all the way to the
other side.
2. Position the CPU above the
socket as shown.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
Make sure that the socket
lever is pushed back all the
way. Otherwise the CPU does
not fit in completely.
The CPU fits only in one
correct orientation. DO NOT
force the CPU into the socket
to prevent bending the pins
and damaging the CPU!
4. Carefully push down the socket
lever to secure the CPU. The lever
clicks on the side tab to indicate
that it is locked.
5. Apply the thermal interface
material (thermal grease) to the
top of the CPU. This thermal
grease should come with the CPU
package.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 if you wish to
install a second CPU.
