5-5 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure onthe label area of the fan.

Notes:

1.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.

2.Intel's boxed processor package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assem- bly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink and fan only.

3.Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the

CPU heatsink and heatsink fan.

4.When purchasing an LGA1366 processor or when receiving a motherboard with an LGA1366 pro- cessor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic CPU cap is in place and none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.

5.Refer to the Supermicro web site for more details on supported CPUs.
