Warning: You can only install the CPU to the socket in one direction. Make sure that
the CPU is properly inserted into the socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't
close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load
plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
7. With the CPU in the socket, in-
spect the four corners of the CPU
to make sure that they are flush
with the socket.
8. Close the load plate. Lock the
lever labeled 'Close 1st', then lock
the lever labeled 'Open 1st'. Use
your thumb to gently push the
load levers down until the lever
locks.

Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink
1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die. The required
amount has already been applied.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the serverboard and the heatsink bracket underneath.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug
(do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)
4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink
Warning: We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However,
if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to uninstall
the heatsink to prevent damage done to the CPU or the CPU socket.
1. Unscrew the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence as shown
in the illustration above.
2. Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive
force when wriggling the heatsink!)
3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU.
4. Remove the used thermal grease and clean the surface of the CPU and the
heatsink, Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before
reinstalling the heatsink.
Warning: Do not reuse old thermal grease!
