2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Attention! When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
Important:
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before
adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make
sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before
you install the CPU heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-
certied multi-directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before
you install the CPU heatsink.
When receiving a server board without a processor pre-installed,
make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none
of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer
immediately.
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
