Processor and Heatsink Installation

Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the processor. Al-
ways connect the power cords last and always remove them before adding,
!
removing or changing any hardware components.

Installing the CPU Backplates

Four CPU backplates (BKT-0011L) have been preinstalled to the serverboard to
prevent the CPU area of the serverboard from bending and to provide a base for
attaching the heatsink retention modules.
Single, dual or quad-CPU confi gurations only are supported. For a single-CPU
confi guration, install to the CPU1 socket. For a dual-CPU confi guration, install to
the CPU1 and CPU2 sockets.

Installing the Processors

(Install to the CPU#1 socket fi rst)
1. Begin by removing the cover plate
that protects the CPU. Lift the lever on
CPU socket #1 until it points straight up.
With the lever raised, lift open the silver
CPU retention plate.
2. Use your thumb and your index fi nger
to hold the CPU. Locate and align pin 1
of the CPU socket with pin 1 of the CPU.
Both are marked with a triangle.
