  • Page 27 Chapter 2: Installation Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the Rail Frame plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the Rail Frame plate again, and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
  • Page 28 H11DSi / H11DSi-NT User's Manual 9. Gently lower the Force Frame down onto the Rail Frame and hold it in place until it is seated in the Socket housing. Note that the Force Frame is spring loaded and has to be held in place before it is secured.
  • Page 29 Chapter 2: Installation 11. After the Force Frame is secured and the CPU package is in place, now you must install the heatsink to the frame. Lower the heatsink down till it rests securely over the four screw holes on CPU Package on the socket frame. 12.
  • Page 30 H11DSi / H11DSi-NT User's Manual Un-installing the Processor and Heatsink 1. Remove the heatsink attached to the top of the CPU Package by reversing the installation procedure. 2.
