Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Removing and installing the CPU
Before starting to install the CPU, please read the following guides:
Make sure the motherboard supports the CPU.
Before installing the CPU, be sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet to prevent damage to the hardware.
Unplug all cables from electrical outlets.
Disconnect all communication cables from their ports.
Place the system unit on a flat and stable surface.
Follow the instructions to turn on the system.
Warning!
Make sure the motherboard is disconnected from the power source before handling any components of
the motherboard, otherwise serious damage may result. Do not attempt the procedures described in the
following sections unless you are a qualified service technician.
Follow the instructions below to install the CPU:
1. Loosen the 3 fixing screws fixing the CPU cover in order (3→2→1).
2. Flip open the CPU cover.
3. Use the handle on the CPU tray to remove the CPU tray from the CPU rack.
4. Using the handle on the CPU tray, insert the new CPU tray with the CPU installed into the CPU
rack.
Note: Make sure the CPU is installed in the correct orientation in the CPU tray, with the triangle
on the CPU aligned with the upper left corner of the CPU carrier.
5. Flip the CPU rack with the CPU installed into the proper position in the CPU socket.
6. Flip the CPU cover into place over the CPU socket.
7. Tighten the CPU cover screws in sequence (1→2→3) to fix the CPU cover in place. Torque: 16.1
kgf-cm (14.0 lbf-in)
8. Repeat steps 1-7 for the second CPU.
9. To remove the CPU, perform steps 1-7 in reverse order.

2.2 Removing and installing the heat sink
Before starting to install the heat sink, please read the following guidelines:
Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before installing the heat sink to prevent
damage to the hardware.
Unplug all cables from electrical outlets.
Disconnect all communication cables from their ports.
Place the system unit on a flat and stable surface.
Follow the instructions to turn on the system.
Warning!
Make sure the motherboard is disconnected from the power source before starting to work on any components of the
motherboard, otherwise serious damage may result.
Note: When installing the heat sink to the CPU, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the 4 fixing nuts in the order of
1-4.
Follow the instructions below to disassemble and install the heat sink:
1. Lift the heat sink and align it with the 4 studs on the CPU socket.
2. Tighten the heat sink fixing screws in order (1→2→3→4) to fix them in place.
3. To remove the heat sink, perform steps 1-2 in reverse, while making sure to unscrew the fixing screws in sequence
(1→2→3→4), as shown in the picture below.
(The pictures of the heat sink are for reference only, the actual product shall prevail)
