2.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
• Use ESD protection.
• Unplug the AC power cord 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.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-directional
heatsink only.
• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support.
