Processor and Heatsink Installation

Caution: 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.
Notes:
•
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.
•
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use the heatsink included
with the server 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.
Installing the Processors
1. Begin by removing the cover plate that
protects the CPU. Lift the lever on the
CPU socket until it points straight up.
Caution: Please save the plastic cap. The serverboard must be shipped with the plastic
cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment without the plastic cap
properly installed may cause damage to the socket pins
2. With the lever raised, lift open the silver
CPU retention plate. Align the CPU
keys with the socket keys.
