Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
5-7
After removing the plastic cap, use 1.
your thumb and the index fi nger to hold
the CPU at the north and south center
edges.
Align the CPU key (the semi-circle 2.
cutout) with the socket key (the notch
below the gold color dot on the side of
the socket).
Once the CPU and the socket are 3.
aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight
down into the socket. Do not rub the
CPU against the surface of the socket
or its pins to avoid damaging the CPU
or the socket.
With the CPU in the socket, inspect the 4.
four corners of the CPU to make sure
that it sits level and is properly installed.
Once the CPU is securely seated in the 5.
socket, lower the CPU load plate to the
socket.
Use your thumb to gently push the 6.
socket clip down to the clip lock.
Important! Please save the plastic cap. The
serverboard must be shipped with the plastic
cap properly installed to protect the CPU
socket pins. Shipment without the plastic
cap properly installed may cause damage to
the socket pins.
