5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Installing the Processor (install to the CPU#1 socket ﬁ rst)

1. Lift the lever on CPU socket #1 until

it points straight up.

2. Use your thumb and your index ﬁ nger

to hold the CPU. Locate pin 1 on the

CPU socket and pin 1 on the CPU. Both

are marked with a triangle.

3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1

of the socket. Once aligned, carefully

place the CPU into the socket. Do not

drop the CPU on the socket, move the

CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the

CPU against the socket or against any

pins of the socket, which may damage

the CPU and/or the socket.

Installing the CPU Backplates

Two CPU backplates (BKT-0004) are pre-installed. The backplates prevent the

CPU area of the serverboard from bending and provide a base for attaching the

heatsink retention modules.

Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces-

sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be-

fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
