Hardware Setup
2.1 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.1.1 Removing the Processor Heatsink
The heatsink is attached to the server board or processor socket with captive fasteners.
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the heatsink corners in a
diagonal manner using the following procedure:
˙Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two rotations
and stop (see letter A).
˙Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter B). Similarly,
loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw two rotations each time
until all screws are loosened.
• Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).

4
2.1.2 Installing the Processor
2.1.2.1 Unlatch the CPU Load Plate
Push the lever handle labeled “OPEN 1st” (see letter A) down and toward the CPU
socket. Rotate the lever handle up.
Repeat the steps for the second lever handle (see letter B).

5
2.1.2.2 Lift open the Load Plate
•Rotate the right lever handle down until it releases the Load Plate
(see letter A).
•While holding down the lever handle, with your other hand, lift open
the Load Plate (see letter B).

6
2.1.2.3 Install the Processor
•Remove the processor from its package.
•Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the CPU, taking care not
to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).
•Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts match the four
orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Note the location of a gold key at the corner
of the processor (see letter C). Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.
