Xeon Installation Procedure
Xeon Processor Installation
Step 1: Install the Baseboard
A metal baseboard is required to add stability to the motherboard. A rubber pad is
placed between the metal board and motherboard to provide insulation to prevent
shorting. Align the rubber pad over the metal baseboard so that the holes match.
Align the ASUS XG-DLS motherboard over the rubber pad and metal baseboard so
that the screws match up with the motherboard’s screw holes. Place and tighten
three captive nuts in the corner locations circled.
Step 2: Install Retention Mechanisms
Place the retention mechanisms’ holes over the screws and the Slot2. Screw four
captive nuts onto the screws as circled in the picture on the right. Do not place the
other captive nuts yet.
