Chapter 3
Maintenance and Component Installation
This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To
prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part
numbers given.
Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the
system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.
3.1 Removing Power
Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This
step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components or when replacing
a non-redundant power supply.
1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the
power strip or outlet. (If your system has more than one power supply, remove the AC
power cords from all power supply modules.)
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s).
3.2 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink to the
motherboard.
Notes:
•
If you bought a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional
heatsink only.
•
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.
