Installing A Processor - Intel SR870BN4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Installing a Processor

To install a processor:
1. Before trying to insert the processor, verify that the processor release mechanism is in the open
or unlocked position (see inset in Figure 93. Removing a Processor).
2. Position the processor (with heat sink attached) inside the four posts on the processor board,
pins toward the back and over the socket. Once centered in the socket, the weight of the
processor/heat sink assembly should cause the processor to drop into the socket. Do not apply
force. Once the processor is in the socket, gently press the processor to verify the processor has
seated properly.
3. Using a 2.5 mm hex driver, rotate the processor release mechanism 90 degrees clock-wise (A in
Figure 94) so that the indicator flag shows the processor socket is locked (see inset).
4. Tighten the four captive screws in a cross-pattern in this order, B1, B2, B3, and B4 as shown in
Figure 94, to secure the processor to the processor board.
