Notes:
• Use ESD protection.
• Shut down the system and then unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the processor socket and none of the socket
pins are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
• When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands
(gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage
to the processor or socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
• Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.
• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support.
• All graphics in this manual are for illustrative purposes only. Your components may look
di󰀨erent.
• Installing the processor does not require a screwdriver. Do not unscrew the processor
socket.
• Installing the heatsink requires a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
