3.Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket.

4.With the CPU inserted into the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that it is properly installed and ﬂush with the socket. Then, gently lower the silver CPU retention plate into place.

Installing the Heatsinks

We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow the installation instructions that are included with your heatsink package.

Note: Make sure the heatsink is placed so that the ﬁns of the heatsink are in the direction of the airﬂow in your system.
