Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Notes:
•
Always remove the power cord before adding, removing or changing a CPU.
•
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.
•
If you buy a CPU separately, use only an Intel-certified, multi-directional heatsink.
•
Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package.
•
Install the processor into the CPU socket before installing the heatsink.
•
Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.
