This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Page 33: Esd Precautions

    Chapter 4: System Safety ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards.

  • Page 34: Operating Precautions

    AS4041M-T2R/4041M-82R User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 4041M-T2R/4041M-82R is operating to ensure proper cooling.

  • Page 36: Processor And Heatsink Installation

    AS4041M-T2R/4041M-82R User's Manual Processor and Heatsink Installation Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces- sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be- fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components. CPU Backplates Four CPU backplates (BKT-0011L) have been preinstalled to the serverboard to prevent the CPU area of the serverboard from bending and to provide a base for attaching the heatsink retention modules.
  • Page 37 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket.
  • Page 38 See Figure 2-1. Repeat for all CPU sockets. Note: the BKT-0012L is included for use with non-proprietary heatsinks only. When installing Supermicro heatsinks, only BKT-0011L (the CPU backplate) is needed. The BKT-0012L retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip-and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.

Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots (see note on previous page). Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and type will result in inter- leaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved (64-bit) memory.
