Processor and Heatsink Installation
Caution! When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the
label area.
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing
or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor
into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
Caution! If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-
directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install the CPU
heatsink.
When receiving a server board 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 website for updates on CPU support.
