Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on
the label area.
Notes:
•
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, remov-
ing, or changing any 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 an Intel-certifi ed multi-
directional heatsink only.
•
Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsink.
•
When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure
that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and that none of the socket pins are
bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
•
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
