Installing a Processor 1 If you are adding a processor to an unoccupied socket, perform the following steps first: NOTE: If you are installing just one processor, it must be installed in socket CPU1. See Figure 7-12 or Figure 7-11. a Remove the processor filler blank. b Lift the plastic processor socket cover from the socket. c For PowerEdge M910, remove the screw securing the processor shield. For other blades, unlatch and rotate the socket-release lever 90 degrees upward and ensure that the socket-release is fully open during processor install. d Lift the processor shield. 2 Install the processor in the socket. See Figure 3-48 (PowerEdge M910), Figure 3-49 (PowerEdge M710, M710HD, M610, M610x, or M600), or Figure 3-50 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605). NOTE: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the processor and the system board when you turn it on. Be careful not to bend the pins on the LGA socket. a Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same corner of the ZIF socket identified by a corresponding triangle on the system board. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-48 (PowerEdge M910), Figure 3-49 (PowerEdge M710, M710HD, M610, M610x, or M600), or Figure 3-50 (PowerEdge M905, M805, or M605). b With the pin-1 corners of the processor and socket aligned, set the processor lightly in the socket. Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket, do not use force. When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the socket with minimal pressure. c Close the processor shield.
