Installing the Processors and Heatsinks

Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package. Always
remove the power cord fi rst before adding, removing or changing any
!
hardware components.
Notes: Make sure to install the processor into the CPU socket before you install
the CPU heatsink.
Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If
you buy the CPUs separately, use only Intel-certifi ed heatsinks and fans.
Make sure to install the heatsink backplate and the serverboard into the chassis
before you install the CPU heatsink and fan (see below).
Inspect the CPU socket and make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and
none of the socket pins are bent. Otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.
All graphics shown in this manual are for reference only. The components that
came with your serverboard may or may not look exactly the same as the pictures
shown in this manual.
CPU Installation
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.
3. Use your thumb and your index
fi nger to hold the CPU at opposite
sides.
Warning! Make sure you lift the lever completely when installing the CPU;
!
otherwise, damage to the socket or CPU may occur.
