2-2 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 n-

ger 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 optional items that may be included in the

retail box. The backplates prevent the CPU area of the serverboard from bending

and provide a base for attaching the heatsink retention modules. To install, begin

by peeling off the release paper to expose the adhesive. On the underside of the

serverboard, locate the two holes on either side of the CPU socket. Attach the

adhesive side of the backplate to the board by inserting the standoffs into the two

holes and applying light pressure so that the backplate sticks to the underside of

the board. Repeat for the second CPU socket. See Figure 2-1.

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.
