This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow the
installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not
work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the
components.

Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
This mainboard supports the latest Intel® Xeon® processor 5000 series
(Harpertown/Wolfdale-DP/Clovertown/Woodcrest) in Socket LGA771. When
you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent the CPU
from overheating. If you do not have a CPU cooler, contact your dealer to purchase
and install them before turning on the computer.
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 power supply or unplug the
power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

Installing the LGA771 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.

3. Install the CPU(s) following the instructions on page 2-4.
4. Apply some heat paste all over the
top of the CPU and place the cooler
onto it.
6.Screw to secure the CPU cooler.
7. Install another CPU fan sink if
necessary.
5.Connect the CPU fan power cord to
CPUFAN1.
Note: If dual processors are installed,
connect the second CPU fan power
cord to CPUFAN2.

Hardware Setup
Installing Memory 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.
