3. Configuració i instal·lació

Installing a processor requires careful handling and adherence to proper procedures. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.

3.1 Llista de comprovació prèvia a la instal·lació

• Ensure your motherboard supports the Intel FCLGA3647 socket and the Xeon Silver 4108 processor. Refer to your motherboard's documentation for compatibility.
• Acquire a compatible cooling solution (not included with this tray processor).
• Gather necessary tools, such as a Phillips head screwdriver and thermal paste.
• Treballeu en un entorn sense electricitat estàtica i utilitzeu precaucions antiestàtiques (per exemple, una corretja antiestàtica per al canell).

3.2 Passos d'instal·lació

1. Prepareu la placa base: Open the CPU socket retention mechanism on the motherboard.
2. Handle the Processor: Carefully remove the processor from its packaging, holding it by the edges to avoid touching the gold contacts or the top surface.
3. Alineeu el processador: Align the processor with the socket, matching the triangular orientation marks on the processor and the socket. Do not force the processor into place.
4. Col·loqueu el processador: Gently lower the processor into the socket. It should sit without resistance.
5. Assegurar el processador: Close the socket retention mechanism to secure the processor firmly in place.
6. Aplicar pasta tèrmica: Apply a small amount of high-quality thermal paste to the center of the processor's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
7. Install Cooling Solution: Mount the compatible CPU cooler according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper contact and pressure.
8. Connectar l'alimentació: Connect the CPU fan power cable to the appropriate header on the motherboard.

4. Funcionament

Once installed, the Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processor operates as the central processing unit of your system. Its performance is managed by the operating system and applications.

4.1 Funcionament del sistema

• The processor automatically adjusts its frequency and power consumption based on workload, utilizing technologies like Intel Speed Shift and Turbo Boost 2.0.
• For multi-threaded applications, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology allows each physical core to handle two threads, improving parallel processing capabilities.
• Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x and VT-d) enables efficient virtualization, allowing multiple operating systems or applications to run concurrently in isolated environments.

4.2 Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI

Access your system's BIOS/UEFI settings to verify processor recognition and configure any specific settings related to CPU performance, virtualization, or power management. Refer to your motherboard manual for detailed instructions on accessing and navigating the BIOS/UEFI.

5. Manteniment

Processors generally require minimal direct maintenance. The primary focus should be on maintaining an optimal operating environment for the entire system.

• Sistema de refrigeració: Inspeccioneu i netegeu regularment el refrigerador de la CPU i els ventiladors de la caixa per evitar l'acumulació de pols, que pot impedir el flux d'aire i provocar un sobreescalfament.
• Pasta tèrmica: Over time, thermal paste can degrade. If you observe consistently high temperatures, consider reapplying fresh thermal paste. This typically involves removing the cooler, cleaning old paste, and applying new paste.
• Control ambiental: Ensure the system is operated in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources, and within recommended temperature and humidity ranges.

6. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues after installing or during the operation of your processor, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Sense alimentació/Sense pantalla: Double-check all power connections, especially the CPU power connector on the motherboard. Ensure the processor is correctly seated in its socket.
• Sobreescalfament: Verify that the CPU cooler is properly installed and making good contact with the processor. Check fan operation and ensure adequate airflow within the computer case. Monitor CPU temperatures using system monitoring software.
• Inestabilitat/Avaries del sistema: This could indicate an issue with the processor, memory, or motherboard. Ensure all components are compatible and properly installed. Update motherboard BIOS/UEFI to the latest version.
• Incorrect Processor Recognition: If the system BIOS/UEFI or operating system does not correctly identify the processor, ensure your motherboard BIOS/UEFI is updated to a version that supports the Intel Xeon Silver 4108.

If problems persist, consult your motherboard's troubleshooting guide or contact Intel support.
