3. Contingut del paquet

Your Intel Xeon Gold 6150 Tray Processor package should contain:

• Intel Xeon Gold 6150 Tray Processor (Model: CD8067303328000)

Note: A cooling device is NOT included with this tray processor and must be acquired separately.

4. Configuració i instal·lació

This section outlines the general steps for installing the Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processor. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions regarding your system.

4.1 Llista de comprovació prèvia a la instal·lació

• Compatible motherboard with FCLGA3647 (Socket P) socket.
• Appropriate CPU cooler for FCLGA3647 socket, capable of dissipating 165W TDP.
• Thermal interface material (TIM), if not pre-applied to the cooler.
• Corretja de canell i estora antiestàtiques.

4.2 Passos d'instal·lació del processador

1. Prepareu la placa base: Open the CPU socket retention mechanism on the motherboard. For FCLGA3647 sockets, this typically involves releasing multiple screws or levers.
2. Orienta el processador: Carefully align the processor with the socket. The processor has specific notches or alignment marks that must match those on the socket. Do not force the processor into the socket.
3. Col·loqueu el processador: Baixeu suaument el processador directament al sòcol. Hauria d'estar enrasat sense requerir una pressió significativa.
4. Assegurar el processador: Close the socket retention mechanism according to your motherboard's instructions. This will secure the processor in place.
5. Aplicar pasta tèrmica: If your CPU cooler does not have pre-applied thermal paste, apply a small amount (pea-sized dot) to the center of the processor's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
6. Instal·leu el refrigerador de CPU: Mount the CPU cooler onto the motherboard, ensuring it makes firm and even contact with the processor. Follow the cooler manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and fan connection.

6. Manteniment

Processors generally require minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure long-term reliability:

• Eliminació de pols: Regularly clean dust from the CPU cooler and system fans using compressed air. Dust accumulation can impede airflow and lead to overheating.
• Pasta tèrmica: If you notice consistently high temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste between the CPU and cooler. This is typically recommended every few years or if the cooler is removed.
• Actualitzacions de la BIOS/UEFI: Mantingueu el firmware BIOS/UEFI de la placa base actualitzat per garantir la compatibilitat i un rendiment òptim amb el processador.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues after installing your processor, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Display/Boot Failure:
  • Ensure the processor is correctly seated in the socket.
  • Verifiqueu que tots els cables d'alimentació (ATX de 24 pins, CPU de 8 pins) estiguin connectats correctament a la placa base.
  • Check RAM modules are properly seated. Try booting with only one RAM stick.
  • Confirm your motherboard BIOS/UEFI supports the Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processor. An update might be necessary.
• Sobreescalfament:
  • Ensure the CPU cooler is correctly installed and making full contact with the processor.
  • Verificar l'aplicació de pasta tèrmica.
  • Check that the CPU cooler fan is spinning and connected to the correct header on the motherboard.
  • Ensure adequate airflow within the computer case.
• Inestabilitat/Avaries del sistema:
