Creating the Processor Carrier Assembly

The processor carrier assembly contains a 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor and a
processor carrier.
To create the processor carrier assembly, please follow the steps below:
Note: Before installation, be sure to follow the instructions given on Page 1 and Page 2 of
this chapter to properly prepare yourself for installation.
1. Hold the processor with the LGA lands (with Gold CPU contacts) facing down. Locate
the small, gold triangle at the corner of the processor and the corresponding hollowed
triangle on the processor carrier as shown in the graphics below. Please note that the
triangle indicates Pin 1 location.

2. First, turn over the processor carrier and locate Pin 1 on the CPU and Pin 1 on the
carrier. Then, turn the processor over with the processor reverse side (gold contacts)
facing up and locate CPU keys on the processor. Finally, locate the CPU keys and four
latches on the carrier as shown below.
