Processor and Heatsink Installation

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.
IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it fi rst before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. If
installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1.
Notes:
Intel's boxed CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you
buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed multi-directional
heatsinks and fans.
When purchasing an LGA 775 CPU or when receiving a serverboard with one 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.
Installing the Processor
1. A black PnP cap is attached to the
load plate to protect the CPU socket.
Press the load lever down and away
from the retention clasp to release the
load plate from its locked position.
2. Gently lift the load lever to open the
load plate.
