Chapter 2: Installation
4. With the CPU inserted into the
socket, inspect the four corners of the
CPU to make sure that it is properly
installed and fl ush with the socket.
5. Gently press the CPU socket lever
down until it locks in the plastic tab.
For a dual-processor system, repeat
these steps to install another CPU into
the CPU#2 socket.
Note: if using a single processor, only
CPU 1 DIMM slots are addressable.
Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules
Two heatsink retention modules (BKT-0005) and four screws are optional items that
may be included in the retail box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the
heatsinks to the CPUs. To install, position the module so that the CPU backplate
standoffs insert through the holes on the heatsink retention module and the four
feet on the module contact the serverboard. Secure the retention module to the
backplate with two of the screws provided. See Figure 2-1. Repeat for the second
CPU socket. Note: BKT-0005 is included for use with non-proprietary heatsinks
only. When installing proprietary heatsinks, only BKT-0004 (CPU backplate) is
needed. The BKT-0005 retention module was designed to provide compatibility
with clip-and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.

Installing the Heatsink
We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Connect
the heatsink fans to a fan header near the CPU. To install the heatsinks, please
follow the instructions included with your heatsink package (not included).
