Installing Blade Components
7 Open the processor shield and then lift the processor out of the socket.
Leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new processor.
Installing a Processor
1 If you are adding a processor to an unoccupied socket, perform the
following steps first.
NOTE:
If you are installing just one processor, it must be installed in socket
CPU1. See Figure 7-3 or Figure 7-4.
a
Remove the processor filler blank
b
Lift the plastic processor socket cover from the socket.
c
Unlatch and rotate the socket-release lever 90 degrees upward.
d
Lift the processor shield.
2 Install the processor in the socket. See Figure 3-20 (PowerEdge M600) or
Figure 3-21 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605).
NOTE:
Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
processor and the system board when you turn it on. Be careful not to bend
the pins on the LGA socket.
a
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold
triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same
corner of the ZIF socket identified by a corresponding triangle on the
system board. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1
corner of the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-20 (PowerEdge M600) or
Figure 3-21 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605).
b
Ensure that the socket-release lever is fully open.
c
With the pin-1 corners of the processor and socket aligned, set the
processor lightly in the socket.
Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket, do not use force.
When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the
socket with minimal pressure.
d
Close the processor shield.
e
Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place, securing
the processor.
