Always remove the power cord before adding, removing or changing a CPU.

When receiving a serverboard 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.
•
If you buy a CPU separately, use only an Intel-certifi ed, multi-directional heatsink.
•
Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package.
•
Install the processor into the CPU socket before installing the heatsink.
