This chapter lists the hardware setup procedures that you have to perform when installing or removing system components.
2.1Chassis cover
Removing the rear cover
To remove the rear cover:
1.Remove the two (2) screws on both sides of the cover with a Phillips screwdriver.
2.Loosen the thumbscrew on the rear panel to release the rear cover from the chassis.
3.Firmly hold the cover and slide it towards the rear panel for about half an inch until it is disengaged from the chassis.
4.Lift the cover from the chassis.

Chapter 2: Hardware Information |
2.2Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA 3647 socket designed for the Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors Family Series (supported on CPU1 and CPU2) and Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors Family Series with OMNI-PATH FABRIC (supported on CPU2).
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/ transit-related.
•Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA 3647 socket.
•The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
2.2.1Installing the CPU and heatsink
To install a CPU:
1.Remove the rear cover. For more information, see the section Chassis cover.
2.Remove the air ducts, and then remove the PnP caps from the CPU sockets.
Keep the PnP cap. ASUS will process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the PnP cap on the LGA 3647 socket.

3.Align the triangle mark on the CPU with the triangle mark on the CPU Carrier
(A), then install the CPU into the CPU Carrier until it clicks firmly into place (B), and then install the CPU Carrier into the heatsink until it clicks firmly in place (C).
Ensure that the triangle mark on the CPU matches the triangle mark on the CPU Carrier.

4.Align the CPU and CPU Carrier in the correct orientation, and then place the heatsinks on top of the CPU sockets.
The CPU and CPU Carrier fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU and
CPU Carrier into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU pins on the socket.
5.Twist each of the four screws with a screwdriver just enough to attach the heatsink to the motherboard. When the four screws are attached, tighten them one by one in a diagonal sequence to completely secure the heatsink.
The heatsink screws are T30 models. A torque value of 12 inch-lbf is recommended.
