Processor and Heatsink Installation

Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces-
sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be-
!
fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
Installing the CPU Backplates
Two 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.
Installing the Processor (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.
