X7SBA User's Manual

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. Intel's boxed LGA 775 package contains the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certied multi-

directional heatsink and fan.

3. The Intel LGA 775 heatsink and fan comes with a push-pin design and no tool

is needed for installation. (Refer to Note 7 below.)

4. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU

heatsink and fan. (Refer to Note 7 below.)

5. When purchasing an LGA 775 CPU or when receiving a motherboard with an

LGA 775 CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and

none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

6. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.

7. When the X7SBA motherboard is installed in a server, please use the SNK-

P0016/SNK-P0016P Passive Heatsink only.
