Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports dual AMD ® Opteron processors. The mainboard uses two
CPU sockets called Socket 940 for easy CPU installation. You can install SINGLE or
DUAL CPUs on the mainboard to meet your own needs. Keep the following points in
mind before installing CPU(s).
1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket.
2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs
running at the same frequency.
W hen you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a Heat Sink and a
cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the
Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before
turning on the computer.
