Warning: Always handle the processor by its edges. Avoid touching the pins on the CPU or socket. Static electricity can damage the processor, so use an anti-static wrist strap when handling components.
1 Prepare the Motherboard Place the motherboard on a flat, non-conductive surface. Remove the socket cover if present.
2 Open the Socket Lift the socket lever to the fully open position (approximately 135 degrees). Then lift the load plate.
3 Align the Processor Hold the processor by its edges and align it with the socket. The CPU has notches and a golden triangle that match indicators on the socket.
4 Install the Processor Gently place the processor into the socket. Do not force it – if properly aligned, it should drop into place easily. Do not press down on the CPU.
5 Close the Socket Close the load plate, then lower the socket lever and secure it under the retention clip.
6 Apply Thermal Interface Material Apply a pea-sized amount of quality thermal paste to the center of the processor’s heat spreader.
7 Install the Cooler Align the cooler with the mounting brackets and secure it according to the cooler’s instructions. Connect the cooler’s power cable to the appropriate header on the motherboard.
8 Install Memory Install DDR4 Registered ECC memory modules according to your motherboard’s recommended configuration (usually starting with slots farthest from the CPU).
Note: Before powering on the system, ensure that all connections are secure, including power cables to the motherboard and CPU, memory modules are fully seated, and the CPU cooler is properly installed.

System Won’t Power On
Possible causes: Incorrect power connections, faulty power supply, motherboard compatibility issue.
Solutions: Check all power connections (24-pin ATX, 8-pin EPS), verify PSU functionality, ensure motherboard compatibility with Xeon E5 v4 processors.
Ha ho Ponts'o e hlahang
Possible causes: No discrete graphics card installed, graphics card not properly seated, monitor connected to wrong port.
Solutions: Install a discrete graphics card (this CPU has no integrated graphics), reseat the graphics card, ensure monitor is connected to the graphics card outputs.
Memory Not Detected or Errors
Possible causes: Using non-ECC or unbuffered memory, memory not fully seated, incompatible memory.
Solutions: Ensure you’re using DDR4 Registered ECC memory, reseat memory modules, try different memory slots, check motherboard QVL for compatible memory.
BIOS Doesn’t Recognize CPU
Possible causes: Outdated BIOS, incompatible motherboard.
Solutions: Update motherboard BIOS to latest version (may require a compatible CPU for flashing), verify motherboard compatibility with Xeon E5 v4 processors.
System Instability or Overheating
Possible causes: Inadequate cooling, improper thermal paste application, insufficient power delivery.
Solutions: Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed, reapply thermal paste, check temperatures in BIOS, verify PSU adequacy.
PCIe Devices Not Recognized
Possible causes: BIOS settings, incompatible devices, insufficient PCIe lanes.
Solutions: Check BIOS settings for PCIe configuration, try different slots, ensure devices are compatible with the system.
Note: For dual-processor configurations, ensure both CPUs are identical and that all required power connections are made (additional EPS12V connectors may be required).
Ts'ebeliso ea Ts'ebetso
Litlhophiso tsa BIOS
For optimal performance, consider these BIOS settings: Enable Turbo Boost Technology Enable Hyper-Threading Technology Set memory speed to highest supported frequency (2133MHz or 2400MHz) Enable XMP profiles if supported by your memory and motherboard Configure power settings for performance (disable power-saving features if maximum performance is desired)
Operating System Configuration
For server/workstation use: Use Windows Server or Windows 10/11 Pro for Workstations Install latest chipset drivers from motherboard manufacturer Set power plan to “High performance” For virtualization, enable VT-d in BIOS and install appropriate hypervisor
Maikutlo a Pholisa
To maintain optimal performance: Ensure adequate case airflow Monitor temperatures using utilities like HWMonitor or Open Hardware Monitor
Consider upgrading cooling solution if temperatures exceed 80 C under load
