your thumb and the index fi nger
to hold the CPU at the north and
south center edges.
2. Align the CPU key (the semi-circle

straight down into the socket.
Do not rub the CPU against the

socket clip down to the clip lock.
Important
! Please save the plastic
cap. The serverboard must be shipped

protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment
