Central Processing Unit (Cpu); Installling The Cpu - Pegatron IPMIP Reference Manual

3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount socket designed for various
processors.
NOTE: Your boxed processor package should come with installation
instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in
this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
NOTE: Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is
on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Do not remove the PnP cap
unless you are installing a CPU. Contact your retailer immediately if the
PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/
motherboard components.
NOTE: Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. It is required for
product returns or repairs.
NOTE: The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/
incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

Installling the CPU

WARNING: Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only
by the edges and do not touch the contacts on the motherboard or CPU.
Any physical damage to the motherboard pins will void the warranty.
1. Unhook the load lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
2. Pull the load lever back and the load plate will automatically lift.
3. Remove the protective socket cap from the Socket in a straight up motion.
4. Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.
5. Lower the CPU straight down into the socket without tilting or sliding.
6. Lower the load plate so it is resting on the CPU.
7. Pull back the load lever again to ensure the load plate tip engages under the
shoulder screw cap.
8. Carefully close and latch the load lever.
