SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Before getting started, please read the following important cautions:
• All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be
noted.
• Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge.
Therefore, be sure to ground yourself at all times when installing the
internal components.
• Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in
static-shielded devices. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in any
electronic supply store.
• Be sure to turn off the power and then disconnect the power cords from
your system before performing any installation or servicing. A sudden
surge of power could damage sensitive electronic components.
• Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for
maintenance is a must, only a trained technician should do so.
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
• Place this equipment on a stable surface when install. A drop or fall
could cause injury.
• Please keep this equipment away from humidity.
• Carefully mount the equipment into the rack, in such manner, that it
won’t be hazardous due to uneven mechanical loading.
• This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with
maximum ambient temperature below 35°C.
• The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the
equipment from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.

electrical shock.
• Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification
on the label when connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The
FXUUHQWORDGDQGRXWSXWSRZHURIORDGVVKDOOEHZLWKLQWKHVSHFLÀFDWLRQ
• This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using.
Pay special attention to power supplied other than direct connections,
e.g. using of power strips.
• Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place
anything over the power cord. The power cord must be rated for the

iii
product, voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings
label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the
voltage and current rating marked on the product.
• If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from
mains to avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.
• Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service
personnel should open the equipment.
• If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by
service personnel:
1. The power cord or plug is damaged.
2. Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
3. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
4. The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user
manual.
5. The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
6. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
7. Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or
cloth is recommended for cleaning.
• Module and drive bays must not be empty! They must have a dummy cover.

Chapter 2. Hardware Installation
2.1 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.1.1 Removing the Processor Heatsink
The heatsink is attached to the server board or processor socket with
captive fasteners. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws
located on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner using the following
procedure:
• Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by
giving it two rotations and stop (see letter A).
• Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop
(see letter B). Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and
B by giving each screw two rotations each time until all screws are
loosened.
• Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).

2.1.2 Installing the Processor
2.1.2.1 Unlatch the CPU Load Plate
• Push the lever handle labeled “OPEN 1st” (see letter A) down and
toward the CPU socket. Rotate the lever handle up.
• Repeat the steps for the second lever handle (see letter B).
CAUTION :
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if
you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server.
CAUTION :
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following:
(1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or
server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal
chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor.
(2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

2.1.2.3 Install the Processor
• Remove the processor from its package.
• Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the
CPU, taking care not to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).
• Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts
match the four orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Note the
location of a gold key at the corner of the processor (see letter C).
Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.
CAUTION :
The pins inside the CPU socket are extremely sensitive. Other than
the CPU, no object should make contact with the pins inside the
CPU socket. A damaged CPU socket pin may render the socket inoperable,
and will produce erroneous CPU or other system errors if used.
NOTE :
The underside of the processor has components that may damage the
socket pins if installed improperly. The processor must align correctly
with the socket opening before installation. DO NOT DROP the
processor into the socket.
NOTE :
When possible, a CPU insertion tool should be used when installing the
CPU.

• Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a
diagonal manner using the following procedure:
• Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw
threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter C). (Do not fully
tighten.)
• Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two
rotations and stop (see letter D). Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.
• Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time
until each screw is lightly tightened up to a maximum of 8 inch-lbs
torque (see letter E).
NOTE :
The processor heatsink for CPU1 and CPU2 is different. FXXCA91X91HS is
for CPU1, while FXXEA91X91HS2 is for CPU2. Mislocating the heatsink
will cause serious thermal damage.

2.1.5 Different heatsink for each of its CPUs
Carefully position heatsink over the CPU0 and CPU1, and align the
heatsink screws with the screw holes in the motherboard.
Caution - Possible thermal damage. Avoid moving the heatsink after
it has contacted the top of the CPU. Too much movement could
disturb the layer of thermal compound, causing voids, and leading
to ineffective heat dissipation and component damage.
