4. Lift of the lid with the compression screw and set it aside. This exposes the compression plate.
5. Lift off the compression plate and set it aside. This exposes the K2G with the IC frame.
6. Use the vacuum pen to carefully remove the K2G. Note the correct A1 orientation of the part.
7. Remove the IC frame and set it aside.
Use the following steps to install a K2G:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the EVM.
2. Use a vacuum pen to install the K2G in the base. Align the A1 pin correctly in the socket. Check that
the component is level and not leaning on any side of the base.
3. Place the IC frame on the K2G. The IC frame provides an even compression across the K2G.
4. Place the compression plate on top of the K2G so that it is sitting flat on the top of the component.
5. Align the lid so that the holes for the shoulder screws are over the screw heads. Lower the lid over the
screw heads and rotate the lid clockwise to the end of the guides. The edge of the lid should be
aligned with the base.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the compression screw, slowly applying pressure to the K2G. The
torque wrench should be set to 80 in-oz to provide the correct pressure. Continue to tighten the
compression screw until the correct torque has been applied. Do not over-torque the compression
screw. Applying a torque greater than 80 in-oz will damage the socket and the installed K2G.
10.2 Initial Use of a Socketed Board
Occasionally, a socketed board does not boot correctly when it is first received. During shipping, the
socket may loosen or the K2G may shift, compromising the connection between the component and the
board. If this occurs, follow the steps above to remove and reinstall the component.
