SUPER MICRO Computer 1.0a Processor and Heatsink Installation, Installing LGA1366 Processors

SUPERSERVER 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ User's Manual

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard 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 remove it first before add- ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ can support either one or two processors. If installing one processor only, install it into the CPU1 socket.

Note:

When purchasing a CPU or when receiving a serverboard with a CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.
