2-3-3 LGA 775 CPU Installation Guide

Socket Preparation

1. Opening the socket:

Note: Apply pressure to the corner with right hand thumb while opening/closing the load lever,

otherwise lever can bounce back like a “mouse trap” and WILL cause bent contacts (when

loaded)

i. Disengage Load Lever by depressing down and out on the

hook to clear retention tab

ii. Rotate Load Lever to fully open position at approximately

135degrees

iii. Rotate Load Plate to fully open position at approximately

100degrees

2. Remove PnP Cap (Pick & Place Cap)

i. With left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right

hand thumb and peel the cap from LGA775 Socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in

removal.

ii. Set PnP cap aside. Always put PnP cap back on if the processor is removed from the socket.

iii. Visually inspect PnP cap for damage. If damage observed, replace the PnP cap.

Note: After PnP cap removal, make sure socket load plate

and contacts are free of foreign material; Refer to Overview

Module for FM cleaning.

Note: Optionally, remove PnP cap after CPU insertion. This

will compromise the ability to visually inspect socket.

3. Visually inspect for bent contacts (Recommend at least 1stpass visual inspection)

NOTE: Refer to the Handling and Inspection Module for 1stand 2ndpass inspection details.

NOTE: Glove images are for illustrative purposes only. Please consult local safety guidelines for

specific requirements

NOTE: Recommend not to hold the load plate as a lever, instead hold at tab with left hand, removing

the PnP cap with right hand
