IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, 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: For proper system cooling, please use the heatsink provided by
Supermicro.
2-2 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
system bootup.

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 (CPU
sockets will be automatically disabled if
not in use).
3. Press the lever down until you hear a
click, so you can be sure that the CPU is
securely installed in the CPU socket.
