3.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
The processor (CPU) and processor carrier should be assembled together rst to form the
processor carrier assembly. This assembly will be then attached to the heatsink to form
the processor heatsink module (PHM) before being installed into the CPU socket. Before
installation, be sure to perform the following steps below:
• Please carefully follow the instructions given on the previous page to avoid ESD-related
damages.
• Unplug the AC power cords from all power supplies after shutting down the system.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU 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 CPU 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 and memory support.
• All graphics in this manual are for illustrations only. Your components may look di󰀨erent.
Note 1: The 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor comes with three CPU SKUs:
SP XCC, SP MCC, and HBM. However, CPU SKU support is motherboard-specic
and not all SKUs are enabled on every X13 motherboard. Please refer to the speci-
cations of your motherboard for CPU SKU support. Also, be sure to use processors
of the same SKU on a multi-processor motherboard.
Note 2: The 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor comes with three CPU SKUs,
and each SKU supports a distinctive carrier. The SP XCC CPU supports Carrier E1A;
HBM CPU supports Carrier E1C, and SP MCC, Carrier E1B.
Note 3: This installation guide provides instructions on how to install 1U heatsink on
the X13 motherboards. Please note that heatsink support depends on the chassis used
in your system. For heatsink support on your motherboard or in your system, please
refer to your system specications.
