to hold the CPU. Locate and align pin 

1 of the CPU socket with pin 1 of the 

CPU. Both are marked with a triangle.

Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the 

4. 

socket. Once aligned, carefully place 

the CPU into the socket. 

Do not drop 

the CPU on the socket, move the CPU 

horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU 

against the socket or against any pins 

of the socket, which may damage the 

CPU and/or the socket

.

With the CPU inserted into the socket, 

5. 

inspect the four corners of the CPU to 

make sure that it is properly installed 

and fl ush with the socket. Then, gently 

lower the silver CPU retention plate into 

place.

Carefully press the CPU socket lever 

6. 

down until it locks into its retention 

tab.  For a dual-CPU system, repeat 

these steps to install another CPU into 

the CPU#2 socket (and into CPU#2, 

#3 and #4 sockets for a quad-CPU 

confi guration).

Note:

 in single and dual-CPU confi gurations, memory must be installed in the DIMM 

slots associated with the installed CPU(s). Memory is limited to a maximum of 32 

GB for a single CPU and 64 GB for dual CPU confi gurations.
