Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation

!

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

Notes:

•Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re- moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

•If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi- directional heatsink only.

•Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsinks.

•When receiving a serverboard 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 web site for updates on CPU support.
