3. Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your AMD EPYC 7551 processor. Always handle the CPU with care, touching only the edges to avoid damaging the pins or contacts.
- Prepareu la placa base: Ensure your server motherboard is compatible with the AMD EPYC SP3 socket. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions on preparing the CPU socket.
- Obriu el sòcol de la CPU: Carefully open the CPU socket retention mechanism on the motherboard. This usually involves lifting a lever or a series of levers.
- Alineeu el processador: Align the AMD EPYC 7551 processor with the socket. The processor has specific notches or a golden triangle indicator that must match the corresponding alignment features on the socket. Do not force the processor into place.
- Col·loqueu el processador: Baixeu suaument el processador directament al sòcol. Hauria d'estar enrasat sense requerir una pressió significativa.
- Assegurar el processador: Close the CPU socket retention mechanism, ensuring the processor is firmly and correctly seated.
- Aplicar pasta tèrmica: Apply a thin, even layer of high-quality thermal paste to the top surface of the processor's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Instal·leu el refrigerador de la CPU: Mount a compatible CPU cooler (not included with this processor) onto the motherboard, ensuring it makes firm contact with the thermal paste and is securely fastened. Connect the cooler's fan cable to the appropriate header on the motherboard.
- Instal·lar memòria: Install DDR4 RAM modules into the designated DIMM slots, following your motherboard's manual for proper channel configuration.
- Connectar l'alimentació: Connect all necessary power cables from your power supply unit (PSU) to the motherboard and any other components.
