5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, 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.
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
6015V-T/6015V-TLP can support either one or two processors (must be low-volt-
age processors for the 6015V-TLP). 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 5300/5100/5000 series processor or when receiving a
serverboard with one 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.
Installing the LGA 771 Processor
1. A black PnP cap is attached to the
load plate to protect the CPU socket.
Press the load lever down and away
