2-2 Xeon 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 add- ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

CPU Installation

1.Lift the lever on the CPU socket: lift the lever completely as shown on the picture on the right; otherwise, you will damage the CPU socket when power is applied. (Install CPU1 fi rst.)

2.Insert the CPU in the socket, making sure that pin 1 of the CPU aligns with pin 1 of the socket (both corners are marked with a triangle). When using only one CPU, install it into CPU socket #1 (Socket #2 is automatically disabled if only one CPU is used).

3.Press the lever down until you hear the click, so you can be sure that the CPU is securely installed in the CPU socket.
