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: 1.Always connect the power cord last and remove it first

before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.

2. You must install the Xeon mounting plate under the motherboard if your

chassis does not have CPU Heatsink matching mounting holes. However,

you can mount the heatsink directly into the chassis if your chassis has

matching CPU mounting holes.

3. Make sure that you install the motherboard into the chassis first, then,

install the processor into the CPU socket, and install the CPU heatsink last.

4. Make sure that only Intel-certified, multi-directional heatsinks and fans are

used.
