Creating the Processor Carrier Assembly
The processor carrier assembly contains a 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor and a
processor carrier.To create the processor carrier assembly, please follow the steps below:
1. Hold the processor with the component side (including the gold contacts) facing down.
Locate the small, gold triangle at the corner of the processor and the corresponding
hollowed triangle on the processor carrier as shown in the graphics below. Please note
that the triangle indicates the pin 1 location.
2. Turn over the processor carrier and locate pin 1 on the CPU and pin 1 on the carrier.
Then, turn the processor over with component side (including the gold contacts) facing
up and locate CPU keys on the processor. Finally, locate the CPU keys and four latches
on the carrier as shown below.
