4. To install the heatsink (optional), do not apply any thermal compound to the

heatsink or CPU die - the proper amount has already been applied. Place the

heatsink directly on the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with

those on the retention mechanism. Make sure the heatsink sits completely ﬂ at on

the CPU - if not completely ﬂ at, the space between the two will degrade the heat

dissipation function of the heatsink, which may cause the processor to overheat.

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before

adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you

install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the (optional) heatsink.

The X6DHR-3G2 can support either one or two Xeon 604-pin processors. If

installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

When handling the processor package, 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.

1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket. Lift

the lever completely or you will dam-

age the CPU socket when power is

applied. (Install a processor into CPU

#1 socket ﬁ rst.)

2. Install the CPU in the socket. Make

sure that pin 1 of the CPU is seated on

pin 1 of the socket (both corners are

marked with a triangle). When using

only one CPU, install it into CPU socket

#1 (CPU socket #2 is automatically dis-

abled if only one CPU is used).

3. Press the lever down until you hear

it *click* into the locked position. See

Figure 5-1 for pictures of the 604-pin

CPU socket before and after the pro-

cessor is installed.
