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

Introduction to the LGA2011-3 CPU
The surface of the LGA2011-
3 CPU has four alignment
keys and a yellow triangle
to assist in correctly lining
up the CPU for mainboard
placement. The yellow
triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.

Important
Overheating
Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make
sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be
sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU
and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
When replacing the CPU, always turn o󰘯 the system’s power supply and unplug
the power supply’s power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.

CPU & Heatsink Installation
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is
necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps below
to ensure correct CPU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can damage both
the CPU and the motherboard.
