5-2 PGA Processor and Heatsink Installation

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.

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink. The P4DPR-6GM+ can support either one or two Xeon 512K L2 cache processors of up to 3 GHz. If installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1.

1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket.
Lift the lever completely or you will
damage the CPU socket when	Socket lever
power is applied. (Install a
processor into CPU #1 socket
first.)
2. Install the CPU in the socket.
Make sure that pin 1 of the CPU is
seated on pin 1 of the socket (both	Pin 1
corners are marked with a
triangle). When using only one
CPU, install it into CPU socket #1
(CPU socket #2 is automatically
disabled if only one CPU is used).

3.Press the lever down until you hear it *click* into the locked position. See Figure 5-1 for pictures of the 603-pin CPU socket before and after the processor is installed.
