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.

socket when power is applied. In-

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

2. Insert the CPU in the socket,

making sure that pin 1 of the CPU

aligns with pin 1 of the socket (both

corners are marked with a triangle).

When using only one CPU, install it

into CPU socket #1. (Socket #2 is

automatically disabled if only one

CPU is used.)

3. Press the lever down until you

hear a *click*, which means the

CPU is securely installed in the

CPU socket. Repeat these steps

if you wish to install a second

processor into CPU socket#2.
