2-2 Processor and Heatsink Fan Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing

!

direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

(*Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing 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 Xeon CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed multi-di- rectional heatsink and fan.

3.Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink and fan.)

4.When purchasing an LGA 771 CPU or when receiving a motherboard with an LGA

771CPU 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.

5.Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.
