2. Maklumat Keselamatan

Always observe the following safety precautions when handling and installing your processor:

• Pencegahan Nyahcas Elektrostatik (ESD): Processors are sensitive to static electricity. Always wear an anti-static wrist strap and work on an anti-static mat. Avoid touching the gold contacts on the bottom of the processor.
• Matikan: Ensure the system is completely powered off and unplugged from the power source before opening the computer case or handling any internal components.
• Tangani dengan Berhati-hati: Hold the processor by its edges. Do not drop or apply excessive force to the processor.
• Pengudaraan: Ensure adequate ventilation in your system to prevent overheating.
• Pemasangan Profesional: Jika anda tidak pasti tentang sebarang langkah, rujuk juruteknik bertauliah.

3. Kandungan Pakej

Verify that all items are present in your processor package:

• Intel Xeon Gold 6138 Processor
• Panduan Pemasangan (dokumen ini)
• Note: Thermal solution (heatsink and fan) is typically sold separately for server processors. Ensure you have a compatible thermal solution for LGA3647 sockets.

4. Persediaan dan Pemasangan

Follow these steps carefully to install your Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processor.

4.1 Senarai Semak Prapemasangan

• Compatible motherboard with LGA3647 socket.
• Compatible server-grade RAM (DDR4-2666 recommended).
• Appropriate thermal solution (heatsink and fan/liquid cooler) for LGA3647.
• Thermal interface material (TIM), if not pre-applied to the heatsink.
• Anti-static wrist strap and mat.
• Screwdriver (if required for heatsink mounting).

4.2 Langkah Pemasangan Pemproses

1. Sediakan Sistem: Power off and unplug your computer. Open the computer case to access the motherboard.
2. Sediakan Soket: Locate the LGA3647 socket on your motherboard. Carefully open the socket retention mechanism according to your motherboard's instructions. This typically involves releasing several levers.
3. Orient the Processor: The Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processor has specific notches or alignment indicators. Align these with the corresponding keys on the LGA3647 socket. Do not force the processor into the socket. It should sit gently into place.

5. Sapukan Pes Terma: If your heatsink 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. Install Thermal Solution: Carefully place the heatsink onto the processor, aligning it with the mounting holes on the motherboard. Secure the heatsink using the provided screws or clips, tightening them evenly to ensure proper contact and pressure.
7. Connect Fan Cables: Connect the heatsink fan cable(s) to the appropriate CPU fan header(s) on the motherboard.
8. Tutup Sarung dan Hidupkan: Close the computer case, reconnect all cables, and power on the system.

5. Pertimbangan Operasi

Once installed, the Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processor will be recognized by your system's BIOS/UEFI and operating system.

• Tetapan BIOS/UEFI: Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to verify processor detection and ensure memory settings (e.g., DDR4-2666) are correctly configured.
• Sistem pengendalian: Install or update your operating system. Ensure all necessary drivers, especially chipset drivers, are installed for optimal performance.
• Pemantauan: Utilize system monitoring tools to keep track of CPU temperature and load, ensuring it operates within safe limits.
• Pengoptimuman Beban Kerja: For server environments, configure your operating system and applications to leverage the multi-core capabilities of the Xeon Gold 6138.

6. Penyelenggaraan

Penyelenggaraan yang betul memastikan jangka hayat dan prestasi stabil pemproses anda.

• Penyingkiran habuk: Regularly clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan blades using compressed air. Excessive dust can impede airflow and lead to overheating.
• Penggantian Pes Termal: Over time, thermal paste can dry out. Consider reapplying thermal paste every few years or if you notice increased CPU temperatures.
• Penyejukan Sistem: Ensure all system fans are functioning correctly and that the computer case has adequate airflow.
• Kemas Kini Perisian: Keep your operating system and motherboard BIOS/UEFI updated to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes.

7. Penyelesaian masalah

Jika anda menghadapi masalah, rujuk langkah penyelesaian masalah biasa berikut:

• Sistem Gagal Boot:
  • Periksa semula semua sambungan kuasa, terutamanya penyambung kuasa CPU.
  • Ensure the processor is correctly seated in its socket and the retention mechanism is locked.
