2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area of the fan.
Notes:
Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that
you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU
heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied
multi-directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install
the CPU heatsinks.
When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure
that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins
are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.
Load Lever
Press the load lever to release the load plate, which covers the CPU socket,
from its locking position.
