c. Make sure that the retaining clips are in the locked position when the VRM
is firmly seated in the connector.
8. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package that contains the microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the microprocessor
from the package.
b. Remove the protective cover, tape, or label from the surface of the
microprocessor socket, if any is present.
c. Open the microprocessor bracket frame 1.
d. Rotate the release lever 2 on the microprocessor socket from its closed
and locked position to its fully open position.
Attention: Make sure that the release lever on the microprocessor
socket is in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in
the socket. Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the
microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and system board.
Attention:
v Do not use excessive force when pressing the microprocessor into the
socket.
v Make sure that the microprocessor is oriented and aligned with land
number 1 in the socket before you try to close the lever.
e. Align the microprocessor1 with the socket (note the alignment mark 2
and the position of the notches); then, carefully place the microprocessor
on the socket 4 and close the microprocessor bracket frame.
f. Carefully close the release lever 3 to secure the microprocessor in the
socket.
9. Install the heat sink.
Attention: Do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink or
set down the heat sink after you remove the plastic cover. Touching the
thermal grease will contaminate it.
a. Make sure that the heat-sink lever 4 is in the open position.
b. Remove the plastic protective cover from the bottom of the heat sink 1.
c. Align the heat sink 1 above the microprocessor 2 with the
thermal-grease side down. Press firmly on the heat sink.
