2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on
the label area.
Notes:
•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 CPU heatsink.
•If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-
directional heatsink only.
•Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsink.
•When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make
sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and that none of the socket
pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately. Refer to the
Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
