[. . . ] This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a specific corner of the CPU socket. Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and severely damage the CPU! CPU Socket 2 (outer socket) CPU Socket 1 (inner socket) 2-4 Chapter 2: Hardware setup 2. 3. 1 Installing the CPU The motherboard supports either one or two CPUs. If you are installing only one CPU, you MUST install it in CPU socket 1. Follow these steps to install a CPU. Locate the 604-pin ZIF sockets on the motherboard. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to at least 115° angle. Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to at least 115° angle, otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely. 2. Position the CPU above the socket as shown. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. Marked Corner The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU! 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked. ASUS AP1710-S5 user guide 2-5 2. 3. 2 Installing the heatsink and fan The Intel® XeonTM processors require specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. Make sure that the heatsink with fan assembly is properly installed on the motherboard. A tilted or improperly installed heatsink and fan assembly can cause damage to motherboard CPU socket and/or CPU. Place the heatsink with fan assembly on top of the installed CPU. Make sure it fits the screw holes of the heatsink bracket at the bottom of the CPU socket. (The heatsink bracket is pre-installed in the motherboard. ) 2. Make sure all screws fit properly in place. Take caution in tightening screws. Do not over-tighten screws, doing so may damage the motherboard! 4 Make sure heatsink with fan assembly is mounted properly on the CPU to avoid burning the CPU and/or CPU socket. 2-6 Chapter 2: Hardware setup TIP: Follow the sequence shown: half-tighten the screw on one corner of the heatsink and fan, then the next screw on the other corner and so on, making a cross pattern. Repeat until all four screws are tightened properly. 2 3 1 3. When the heatsink and fan assembly is in place, connect the fan cable to the fan connector on the motherboard labeled CPUFAN1. The fan cable plug is slotted so it fits only in one orientation. If it doesn't fit completely, try reversing it. 4. Make sure that the heatsink and fan assembly is stable in place and the fan power cable are connected properly. Don't forget to connect the CPU fan cable. Hardware monitoring errors may occur if you fail to plug the fan cable. 5. Repeat the same steps if you will install another CPU in the second CPU socket. 6. [. . . ] Remove the four (4) power case side screws. 6. Remove the six (6) power case top screws. Make sure the power case is well supported or held when releasing the power case screws. The power case may accidentally drop and cause damage to other server system components. 7. Slowly pull-out the power case.
