2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure
on the label area of the fan.
Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and remove it before adding, remov-
ing or changing any components. Make sure to install the processor into the CPU
socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
2. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
If you buy a CPU separately, use only Intel-certifi ed heatsink and fan.
3. Make sure to install the heatsink backplate and the motherboard into the chassis
before you install the CPU heatsink and fan. (*See below.)
4. When purchasing a motherboard with an Xeon 7300/7200 Quad-Core/Dual-
Core INT-mPGA CPU Socket, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place
and none of the CPU Socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer im-
mediately.
5. All graphics shown in this manual are for reference only. The components that
