IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it fi rst before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. The
X7DWU can support either one or two Xeon processors. If installing one processor
only, install it into CPU socket #1.
Notes:
1. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If
you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed multi-direc-
tional heatsinks and fans.
2. When purchasing a Xeon CPU or when receiving a serverboard with a CPU
pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU
pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive
surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system
from booting up.
Installing the Processor
A black PnP cap is attached to 1.
the load plate to protect the CPU
socket. Press the load lever down
