5-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
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 serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU
•
heatsinks.
When receiving a serverboard 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.
•
!
When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive sur-
face, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from
booting up.
Starting with CPU1, press the
1.
socket clip to release the load
plate, which covers the CPU
socket, from its locked position.
Gently lift the socket clip to open
2.
the load plate.
Hold the plastic cap at its north
3.
and south center edges to remove
it from the CPU socket.
