3. Use your thumb and your index
fi nger to hold the CPU at opposite
sides.
4. Align pin1 of the CPU (the corner
marked with a triangle) with the
notched corner of the CPU socket.
5. Find the corner of the CPU that
has a semi-circle cutout below a gold
dot (CPU key). This corner should be
aligned with the cutout on the socket
(socket key).
6. Once aligned, carefully lower the
CPU straight down into the socket.
Do not drop the CPU on the socket,
do not move the CPU horizontally
or vertically and do not rub the CPU
against any surface or any of the
contacts, which may damage the
CPU and/or contacts.
7. With the CPU in the socket, in-
spect the four corners of the CPU
to make sure that it is properly
installed.
8. Use your thumb to gently push the
load lever down until it snaps into the
retention clasp.
9. If the CPU is properly installed
into the socket, the PnP cap will be
automatically released from the load
plate when the lever locks. Remove
the cap. Repeat steps to install a
second CPU if desired.
Warning! Keep the plastic PnP cap.
The serverboard must be shipped
with the PnP cap properly installed
to protect the CPU socket. Ship-
ment without the PnP cap properly
installed will void the warranty.
