3. Use your thumb and your index finger
to hold the CPU. Locate and align pin
1 of the CPU socket with pin 1 of the
CPU. Both are marked with a triangle.
4. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the
socket. Once aligned, carefully place
the CPU into the socket.
Do not drop
the CPU on the socket, move the CPU
horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU
against the socket or against any pins
of the socket, which may damage the
CPU and/or the socket
.
5. With the CPU inserted into the socket,
inspect the four corners of the CPU to
make sure that it is properly installed
and flush with the socket. Then, gently
lower the silver CPU retention plate into
place.
6. Carefully press the CPU socket lever
down until it locks into its retention tab.
For a dual-CPU system, repeat these
steps to install another CPU into the
CPU#2 socket.
Note: in single and dual-CPU configurations, memory must be installed in the DIMM
slots associated with the installed CPU(s).
Note: see Chapter 6 for details on installing the air shroud.

Caution: The CPU will only seat inside the socket in one direction. Make sure it is
properly inserted before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force
it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check
that the CPU is aligned properly.
Caution: Supermicro recommends that you utilize a Processor Installation/Removal
tool to install or remove the processor from the serverboard without causing the
processor or serverboard damage.
