Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive surface, which can
damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.
IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it fi rst before add-
ing, 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
X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ can support either one or two processors. If installing
one processor only, install it into the CPU1 socket.
Note:
When purchasing a CPU or when receiving a serverboard 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.

2. Gently lift the socket clip to open
the load plate.
3. Hold the plastic cap at its north
and south center edges to remove
it from the CPU socket.
