Install Cartridge
Lifters

Each Xeon processor requires two
lifters in order to allow safe removal
of the processor. The lifters clamp
on to the cartridge on the two holes
at the top of each corner.

For the lock bar, there is a left and a
right side. The left side has a single
dot and the right side has
two dots (when holding
the motherboard with the
ATX connectors to the
left).

Install Retention
Mechanism Cap

The cap must go in from the left side
first (with the ATX connectors to the
left). The left side has one dot, while
the right side has two dots. The right
end of the cap enters the retention
mechanism and a click is heard as
it snaps in place.
