3.3 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink onto the
motherboard. Improper CPU installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage
to the CPU or motherboard which may require RMA repairs.
Notes:
•
All power should be off, as described in Section 3.1, before installing the processors.
•
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of
the CPU or socket.
•
The processor and heatsink should be assembled together first to form the Processor
Heatsink Module (PHM), and then install the entire PHM into the CPU socket.
•
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 website for updates on CPU support.
