Installing Blade Components

7 Open the processor shield and then lift the processor out of the socket.

Leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new processor.

Installing a Processor

1 If you are adding a processor to an unoccupied socket, perform the

following steps first.

NOTE:

If you are installing just one processor, it must be installed in socket

CPU1. See Figure 7-3 or Figure 7-4.

a

Remove the processor filler blank

b

Lift the plastic processor socket cover from the socket.

c

Unlatch and rotate the socket-release lever 90 degrees upward.

d

Lift the processor shield.

2 Install the processor in the socket. See Figure 3-20 (PowerEdge M600) or

Figure 3-21 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605).

NOTE:

Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the

processor and the system board when you turn it on. Be careful not to bend
the pins on the LGA socket.

a

Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold
triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same
corner of the ZIF socket identified by a corresponding triangle on the
system board. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1
corner of the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-20 (PowerEdge M600) or
Figure 3-21 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605).

b

Ensure that the socket-release lever is fully open.

c

With the pin-1 corners of the processor and socket aligned, set the
processor lightly in the socket.

Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket, do not use force.
When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the
socket with minimal pressure.

d

Close the processor shield.

e

Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place, securing
the processor.
