Installing CPUs
This motherboard uses the Intel Xeon processor. Both
single and dual CPU configurations are supported on this
motherboard.
To install an Intel Xeon CPU on the motherboard it is
very important to precisely an entirely follow the proce-
dure for installing both the CPU and its cooling assem-
bly. Failure to do so can result in either improper opera-
tion or damage to the CPU and possibly the motherboard.
To install an Intel Xeon processor on this motherboard
you will need to do the following:
• Install the Xeon processor in a Socket 603
• Install the Heatsink Retention Mechanisms
• Install a Xeon-specific Heatsink
• Install the Processor Wind Tunnel assembly
Please follow the procedure detailed below to install one
or two Xeon processors on the board. Intel boxed Xeon
processors come with full installation instructions. If you
have these, please also read and follow those instruc-
tions carefully.
Processor Selection
This motherboard supports all Xeon processors and the
BIOS automatically detects the required settings and con-
figures the CMOS Setup Utility accordingly. If you install
two Xeon processors, they must have identical specifica-
tions.
Installation Video
There is a Xeon processor installation video from Intel
in MPEG format on the Power Installer 2 support CD-
ROM disc. You can access it from the Power Installer 2
interface in the Software Utility section. It is listed as
“Processor Installation”. We strongly recommend that you
view this video on another computer if you have not
installed a Xeon processor before. The video will play
with any software that can play the MPEG format, in-
cluding Windows Media Player.
Required Tools:
• Philips-head screw driver
(Crosshead)
• Flathead screw driver
