UPERSERVER 6015P-T(R)/6015P-8(R) User's Manual

IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it ﬁ rst before

adding, 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 X7DBP-i/X7DBP-8 can support either one or two dual-core Xeon processors

5100/5000 series. If installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1.

Notes:

1. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If

you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certiﬁ ed multi-direc-

tional heatsinks and fans.

2. When purchasing a Xeon 5100/5000 series processor or when receiving a

serverboard with one 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.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

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.

Installing the Processor

1. A black PnP cap is attached to the

load plate to protect the CPU socket.

Press the load lever down and away

from the retention clasp to release the

load plate from its locked position.
