WARNING!
2-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on
the label area.
Notes:
•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.
•Make sure that the processor wattage (TDP) does not exceed the maximum
rating for the motherboard. Additionally, check that the TDP is within the rat-
ing limits of the heatsink and chassis to ensure proper cooling and operation.
Refer to the chassis manual for more information.
•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 system 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.
•When you have one CPU, be sure to install the CPU in Socket 1 rst.
