5-4 Installing the Processor and Heatsink
Caution: Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package. Always
remove the power cord fi rst before adding, removing or changing any hardware
components.
Notes:
•
Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re-
moving 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-certifi ed multi-
directional heatsink only.
•
Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsinks.
•
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 web site for updates on CPU support.
