5-5 Installing the Processor and Heatsink
The X6DH3-G2 can support single or dual Intel Xeon processors. Intel's boxed CPU
package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately,
make sure that you use a Intel-certifi ed multi-directional heatsink and fan only.
!
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.

CPU Installation
1. Lift the lever on the CPU1 socket: Lift
the lever completely as shown on the
picture on the right; otherwise, you will
damage the CPU socket when power is
applied. IMPORTANT: you must install
to CPU1 socket fi rst.
Pin 1
2. Insert the CPU in the socket,
making sure that pin 1 of the CPU
aligns with pin 1 of the socket (both
corners are marked with a triangle).
When using only one CPU, install it
into CPU socket #1. (Socket #2 is
automatically disabled if only one
CPU is used.)
3. Press the lever down until you
hear a *click*, which means the
CPU is securely installed in the CPU
socket. Repeat these steps if you
wish to install a second CPU in the
CPU2 socket.
