Installing the Heatsinks
We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any
onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow
the installation instructions included with your heatsink package (not included).
Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of 3.
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 .
With the CPU inserted into the 4.
socket, inspect the four corners
of the CPU to make sure that it is
properly installed and fl ush with the
socket. Then, gently lower the sil-
ver CPU retention plate into place.
Carefully press the CPU socket le- 5.
ver down until it locks into its reten-
tion tab. For a dual-CPU system,
repeat these steps to install another
CPU into the CPU#2 socket (and
into CPU#2, #3 and #4 sockets for
a quad-CPU confi guration).
Note: in single and dual-CPU confi gura-
tions, memory must be installed in the
DIMM slots associated with the installed
CPU(s). Memory is limited to a maximum
of 32 for single CPU and 64 GB for dual
CPU confi gurations.
