2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Attention! When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Important:
•
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before
adding, removing, or changing any hardware components. Make sure
that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install
the CPU heatsink.
•
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified
multi-directional heatsink only.
•
Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you
install the CPU heatsink.
•
When receiving a server board 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.
