2-4 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan.
Notes:
1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re-
moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
2. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsink and heatsink fans.
3. When purchasing a motherboard without the 5500/5600 Series processor pre-
installed, make sure that the CPU socket plastic cap is in place, and none of
the CPU socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.
4. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.
