A+ Server AS -2123BT-Hxxx User's Manual
3.3 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
The processor (CPU) and heatsink should be assembled together first to form the processor
heatsink module (PHM), and then install the PHM into the CPU socket.
Caution: Use industry-standard anti-static equipment, such as gloves or wrist strap, and
follow precautions to avoid damage caused by ESD. Do not touch the underside of the CPU.
Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the CPU or socket
which may require manufacturer repairs.
Notes:
•
All power should be off, as described in Section 3.1, before installing the processors.
•
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of
the CPU or socket.
•
Check that the plastic socket dust cover is in place and none of the socket pins are bent—
otherwise, contact your retailer.
•
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
•
Graphics in this manual are for illustration. Your components may look slightly different.
Heatsinks
The AS -2123BT-Hxxx server uses a slightly different heatsink design for each CPU. The SNK-
P0062PM model is used for CPU2, the CPU closer to the mid-chassis fans.
