Processor And Heatsink Installation (If Not Installed) - American Megatrends StorTrends 1300 User Manual

Processor and Heatsink Installation (if not installed)

When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area
of the fan. Also, do not place the server board on a conductive surface, which can
damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.
Always connect the power cord last and remove it first before adding, removing or
changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the
CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. The StorTrends 1300 can support
either one or two LGA 775 type processors. If installing one processor only, install it
into CPU socket #1.

Read the documentation that came with your processor and the CPU installation
section of this guide prior to performing the processor installation. The Socket
requires special attention. Damaging the Socket will VOID your warranty.
Do NOT touch the Socket pin contacts. The Socket pin contacts are very
fragile and can be easily damaged. Leave the plastic Socket protection cover
on the Socket until you are ready to install the processor. Physically damaging
the Socket pin contacts will VOID your warranty.
You must save the plastic Socket protection cover. The plastic Socket protection cover
must be correctly attached to the socket prior to shipping the Server Board to AMI for
repair. A Server Board received for repair without the plastic Socket protection cover
properly attached will VOID your warranty.
54 StorTrends® 1300 User's Guide (StorTrends iTX version 2.7)
The Intel's retailed boxed LGA 775 CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink
assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certified multi-
directional heatsinks and fans.
When purchasing a LGA 775 CPU or when receiving a server board with a 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.
Do NOT touch the processor contacts. AMI recommends that you leave the protective
cover on the processor until it is ready to be installed.
Do NOT use a vacuum wand when installing the processor.
Do NOT repeatedly remove and install processors on the Server Board. The Socket is
rated for 20 processor insertions. After 20 processor insertions, the socket can fail.
