3-4 Processor and Heatsink Installation
WARNING: Warning ! When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure
on the label area.
WARNING: Warning! Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before
adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
Important! If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified
multi-directional heatsink only.
Notes:
• Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install the CPU
heatsink.
• When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the
plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise,
contact your retailer immediately.
• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
