Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-5 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Warning! Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package. Always remove the power cord first before adding, removing or changing any hardware com- ponents.

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.
