Figure 24. Test Board With A Load Cell Fixture Installed In The Socket 754 - AMD Athlon 64 Thermal Design Manual

A.2.2 Procedure
The following procedure details how to obtain the clip load using the load cell fixture assembly:
1. Set the voltage output on the voltage source to 15.00 V and connect the load cell as
indicated by the manufacturer.
2. With nothing touching the load cell and fixture assembly, record the zero load output
voltage in millivolts since the load measurement is based on change in voltage from no
load to the measured load.
3. Position the backplate onto the test board.
4. Place the load cell fixture in the socket.
5. Place the load cell into the fixture as shown in Figure 24.
