X6DH8-G2+/X6DHE-G2+ User's Manual

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-

ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install

the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU (CEK) heat sink. To

adequately support the weight of CPU heat sinks, please install the X6DH8-G2+/

in a chassis that is compliant with the SSI EEB 3.5 Speciﬁ cation.

2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure

on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the motherboard on a

conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the

system from booting up.

1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket: lift

the lever completely as shown on the

picture on the right; otherwise, you will

damage the CPU socket when power is

applied. (Install CPU1 ﬁ rst.)

2. Insert the CPU in the socket, making

sure that pin 1 of the CPU aligns with

pin 1 of the socket (both corners are

marked with a triangle). When using

only one CPU, install it into CPU socket

#1 (socket #2 is automatically disabled

if only one CPU is used).

3. Press the lever down until you hear

the click so you can be sure that the

CPU is securely installed in the CPU

socket.
