Install Processor Heatsink(s)
CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface
material (TIM) on the bottom side of it. Use caution so
that you do not damage the thermal interface material.
Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.
A
Remove the protective film on the TIM if present.
B
Align heatsink fins to the front and back of
the chassis for correct airflow.
Airflow goes from front-to-back of chassis.
Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and
should be tightened in a diagonal manner using
the following procedure:
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver,
C
start with screw 1 and engage screw
threads by giving it two rotations
and stop. (Do not fully tighten.)
D
Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw
threads by giving it two rotations and
stop. Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.
E
Repeat steps C and D by giving each
screw two rotations each time until
each screw is lightly tightened up to
a maximum of 8 inch-lbs torque.

Memory Configurations and Population Order:
For best performance, a minimum of four DIMMs per CPU is recommended, populated in the blue slot of each memory channel.
In a single-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first.
In a dual-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first for CPU 1 and D1 DIMM first for CPU2.
NOTE: For additional memory configurations, see the Service Guide on the Intel
Server System, or go to
http://www.intel.com/support.
Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for qualified DIMMs approved by Intel. For a list of supported memory, go to
http://serverconfigurator.intel.com.
CAUTION:
Do not
over-tighten
fasteners.
