X6DVA-4G/X6DVA-EG User's Manual
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 CPU heat sink. Note that for the X6DVA-4G/X6DVA-EG you need to
install the Xeon mounting plate under the board.
2-2 PGA 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
motherboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the
BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

CPU Installation
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket:
lift the lever completely as shown
on the picture on the right;
otherwise, you will damage the
CPU socket when power is
applied. (Install CPU1 first.)
Installing the CPU Mounting Plate and Retention Bracket
Place the CPU mounting plate(*)
below the pre-installed retention
brackets on the reverse side of the
motherboard. (*Note: You must
install the mounting plate on the
motherboard to provide the
heatsink with adequate support.)
