Installing the Heatsinks

We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any

onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow

the installation instructions included with your heatsink package (not included).

Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the 3.

socket. Once aligned, carefully place

the CPU into the socket. Do not drop

the CPU on the socket, move the CPU

horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU

against the socket or against any pins

of the socket, which may damage the

CPU and/or the socket.

With the CPU inserted into the socket, 4.

inspect the four corners of the CPU to

make sure that it is properly installed

and ﬂ ush with the socket. Then, gently

lower the silver CPU retention plate into

place.

Carefully press the CPU socket lever 5.

down until it locks into its retention

tab. For a dual-CPU system, repeat

these steps to install another CPU into

the CPU#2 socket (and into CPU#2,

#3 and #4 sockets for a quad-CPU

conﬁ guration).
