X6DVL-INF/X6DVL-iG2 User's Manual
IMPORTANT: 1.Always connect the power cord last and remove it first
before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
2. You must install the Xeon mounting plate under the motherboard if your
chassis does not have CPU Heatsink matching mounting holes. However,
you can mount the heatsink directly into the chassis if your chassis has
matching CPU mounting holes.
3. Make sure that you install the motherboard into the chassis first, then,
install the processor into the CPU socket, and install the CPU heatsink last.
4. Make sure that only Intel-certified, multi-directional heatsinks and fans are
used.

When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the
motherboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the
BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.
