Use this information to install a microprocessor-retention
assembly.
Before you begin
Before you install a microprocessor-retention
assembly, complete
the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If the compute
node is installed in a chassis, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
- Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface,
orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
Procedure
To install a microprocessor-retention assembly, complete
the following steps.
-
Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
-
Make sure that the microprocessor socket release levers
are in the open position.
-
Align the microprocessor-retention assembly on the system
board.
Attention:
- Do not allow the microprocessor-retention assembly to touch the
microprocessor socket. Doing so might result in permanent damage
to the system board.
- Do not touch the contacts in the microprocessor socket. Touching
these contacts might result in permanent damage to the system board.
-
Using a T20 Torx screwdriver, install the four screws to
secure the microprocessor-retention assembly.
-
Install the heat-sink key on the microprocessor retention
assemblies.
-
If necessary, install the microprocessor and heat sink
(see Installing a microprocessor and heat sink).
What to do next
After you install the microprocessor-retention
assembly,
complete the following steps:
- Install the cover onto the compute
node (see Installing the compute node cover for instructions).
- Install the compute node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
