Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package. Always
remove the power cord fi rst before adding, removing or changing any
!
hardware components.
Notes: Always connect the power cord last and remove it before adding, remov-
ing or changing any components. Make sure to install the processor into the CPU
socket before you install the CPU heat sink. You will also need to fi rst remove the
air shroud (see Chapter 6). Be sure to replace the air shroud in its proper position
after installing the processors and heat sinks.
Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If
you buy the CPUs separately, use only Intel-certifi ed heatsinks and fans.
Inspect the CPU socket and make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and
none of the socket pins are bent. Otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.
For proper system setup, please fol-
low the procedure below:
1. Press the socket clip to release
the load plate, which covers the
CPU socket, from its locking
position.
2. Gently lift the socket clip to open
the load plate.
3. Hold the plastic cap at its north
and south center edges to re-
move it from the CPU socket.
4. Align the CPU key, which is
a semi-circle cutout, with the
socket key, which is the notch
below the gold dot on the side of
the socket.
