Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports Intel® Dempsey/Woodcrest processors (Quad-Core
support by optional SKU) in Socket LGA771. When you are installing the CPU, make
sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to
prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your
dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com
tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_qvl.php .
Important
1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

1. Locate the CPU socket.2. Raise the load lever up to its full extent.
3. Open the load plate.
4. After confirming the CPU direction
(indicated below with red circles)
for correct mating, put down the
CPU in the socket housing frame.
Be sure to grasp on the edge of
the CPU base. Note that the alignment keys are matched.
5. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU
with pure vertical motion and reinstall.
6. Cover the load plate onto the package.
7. Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate and then secure the lever
with the hook under the retention tab.

Installing DDRII Modules
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
