Use this procedure if you are adding a CPU to your server.
Before You Begin

This action releases the lever from the retaining clip.
Caution - ESD component damage. The CPU is highly sensitive to static electricity. Observe ESD precautions before handling the CPU. See Antistatic Procedures and Precautions. |
In addition, the alignment post on the socket must engage the semicircular cutout on the CPU.
Caution - Component and motherboard damage. Do not force the CPU into the socket. The CPU does not require any force and does not need to be pushed downward. When the CPU is correctly aligned, you should be able to easily place the CPU in the socket and it should have minimal movement within the socket. Forcing a misaligned CPU into the socket can permanently damage the component and the motherboard. |
The plastic cover protects the compound on the bottom of the heatsink. Do not contaminate components or the work space with the thermal compound.
After the heatsink contacts the CPU, take care to minimize the movement .
Caution - If the heatsink is moved too much during its installation, the layer of thermal compound might become uneven, leading to component damage. |
Alternately turn each screw one full turn until all the screws are tightened fully.
