Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation
Creating the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processor Carrier
Assembly
To install the 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor into the processor carrier, follow
the steps below:
1. Hold the processor with the LGA lands (gold contacts) facing up. Locate the small, gold
triangle in the corner of the processor and the corresponding hollowed triangle on the
processor carrier. These triangles indicate pin 1. The triangles can be found on the top
and bottom of the processor. See the images below.
2. Using the triangles as a guide, carefully align and place Point A of the processor into the
carrier. Then gently snap in the other side of the carrier for the processor to fasten into
Point B.
3.
Examine all corners to ensure that the processor is firmly attached to the carrier.
