5-2 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 surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it fi rst 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 X7DBU can support either one or two Xeon 5300/5100/5000 type processors. If installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1.

Notes:

1.Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed multi-direc- tional heatsinks and fans.

2.When purchasing a Xeon 5300/5100/5000 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.

Installing the Processor

1.A black PnP cap is attached to the load plate to protect the CPU socket. Press the load lever down and away from the retention clasp to release the load plate from its locked position.

2.Gently lift the load lever to open the load plate.
