Processor and Heatsink Installation

Follow the procedures in this section for installing the processor and heatsink into the
H8DMT Serverboard.
WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the
processor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before
adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
Installing the Processors
1. Begin by removing the cover plate that protects the CPU. Lift the lever on the CPU
socket until it points straight up. With the lever raised, lift open the silver CPU
retention plate.
2. Use your thumb and your index finger 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. Align pin 1 of the
CPU with pin 1 of the socket.
