PGA Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the
!
motherboard 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 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 heatsink. The
X5DA8/X5DAE can support either one or two Intel Xeon processors of up to 3.06
GHz. If installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1. (Note:
pictures below show 603-pin sockets.)
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket.
Lift the lever completely or you will
damage the CPU socket when
power is applied. (Install a
processor into CPU #1 socket
first.)
2. Install the CPU in the socket
marked "CPU1". Make sure that pin
1 of the CPU is seated on pin 1 of
the socket (both corners are
marked). When using only one
CPU, install it into CPU socket #1
(CPU socket #2 is automatically
disabled if only one CPU is used).
3. Press the lever down until you
hear it *click* into the locked
position. See Figure 5-1 for
pictures of the 604-pin CPU socket
before and after the processor is
installed.
