CPU installation

The AMD Socket sTRX4 is compatible with 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™
Desktop Processors. Ensure you use a CPU designed for the Socket sTRX4. The CPU fits
in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending
the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
Use the bundled Torx screwdriver
to remove the load plate screws in
sequence 3>2>1, then lift the load plate.
Use your fingers to pull up the tabs on
both sides of the rail frame to release
the rail frame, then lift the rail frame to
its fully open position.
