Installing Blade Components

Open the processor shield and then lift the processor out of the socket.
Leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new processor.
Installing a Processor
1
If you are adding a processor to an unoccupied socket, perform the
following steps first.
NOTE:
If you are installing just one processor, it must be installed in socket
CPU1. See Figure 7-3 or Figure 7-4.
a
Remove the processor filler blank
b
Lift the plastic processor socket cover from the socket.
c
Unlatch and rotate the socket-release lever 90 degrees upward.
d
Lift the processor shield.
2
Install the processor in the socket. See Figure 3-20 (PowerEdge M600) or
Figure 3-21 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605).
NOTE:
Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
processor and the system board when you turn it on. Be careful not to bend
the pins on the LGA socket.
a
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold
triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same
corner of the ZIF socket identified by a corresponding triangle on the
system board. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1
corner of the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-20 (PowerEdge M600) or
Figure 3-21 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605).
b
Ensure that the socket-release lever is fully open.
c
With the pin-1 corners of the processor and socket aligned, set the
processor lightly in the socket.
Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket, do not use force.
When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the
socket with minimal pressure.
d
Close the processor shield.
e
Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place, securing
the processor.
