SBI-6429P-C3N SuperBlade Module User's Manual

Processor Installation
A single processor may be installed to the motherboard of each blade unit. See
Chapter 1
for general information on the features of the blade unit and the
website
for further details including processor, memory and operating system support.
WARNING: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the
label area of the CPU or CPU socket. Also, improper CPU installation or socket
misalignment can cause serious damage to the CPU or motherboard which may result in
RMA repairs. Please read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing your CPU
and heatsink.
Notes:
1. Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing,
or changing any hardware components. Please note that the processor and heatsink
should be assembled together first to form the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM), and
then install the entire PHM into the CPU socket.
2. When you receive a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that
the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and that none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
3. Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
4. Please follow the instructions given in the ESD Warning section on the first page of
this chapter before handling, installing, or removing system components.
5. All graphics, drawings, and pictures shown in this manual are for illustration only. The
