Installing a processor 9 Install the new processor into the processor socket. Make sure that: ■ The processor release lever is open all the way (135° from the closed position) ■ The triangular arrow on the corner of the processor aligns with the triangular hole on the corner of the processor socket ■ The processor is flush with the socket. Important If you install two processors onto the system board, for best performance the processors should be the same speed. Otherwise, applications that detect processor speed could cause problems. If only one processor is installed, it must be installed in the CPU 1 socket. 10 Press the processor locking lever down until it clicks into place. 11 Place the heat sink on the processor, making sure the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is aligned between the heat sink and the processor. 12 Line up the four captive screws with the four posts surrounding the processor, then gradually and evenly tighten the four captive screws to secure the heat sink to the system board. 13 Follow the instructions in "Installing the air ducts" on page 47. 14 Follow the instructions in "Closing the server case" on page 52. www.gateway.com 75
