Processor and Heatsink Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing
!
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Notes:
1. 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.
2. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assem-
bly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed
multi-directional heatsink and fan.
3. When purchasing an LGA 771 CPU or when receiving a motherboard with an
LGA 771 CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and
none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.
4. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.
