3. Use your thumb and your index
fi nger to hold the CPU at opposite
sides.
4. Align pin1 of the CPU (the cor-
ner marked with a triangle) with the
notched corner of the CPU socket.
5. Find the corner of the CPU that
has a semi-circle cutout below a gold
dot (CPU key). This corner should be
aligned with the cutout on the socket
(socket key).
6. Once aligned, carefully lower the
CPU straight down into the socket.
Do not drop the CPU on the socket,
do not move the CPU horizontally
or vertically and do not rub the CPU
against any surface or any of the
contacts, which may damage the CPU
and/or contacts.
7. With the CPU in the socket, inspect
the four corners of the CPU to make
sure that it is properly installed.
8. Use your thumb to gently push the
load lever down until it snaps into the
retention clasp.
9. If the CPU is properly installed into
the socket, the PnP cap will be auto-
matically released from the load plate
when the lever locks. Remove the cap.
Repeat steps to install a second CPU
if desired.
Warning! Keep the plastic PnP cap.
The serverboard must be shipped
with the PnP cap properly installed
to protect the CPU socket. Shipment
without the PnP cap properly installed
will void the warranty.
