Processor and Heatsink Installation

Notes:
•
When changing the CPU in a node, always power down the node fi rst and
remove it from the chassis. Make sure that you install the CPU into its socket
before you install the CPU heatsink.
•
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certifi ed multi-
directional heatsink only.
•
When receiving a motherboard 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.
