installation unless proper ventilation is available.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Service
should only be performed by trained personnel. Opening or removing covers
and/or circuit boards may expose you to electric or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
Risk of explosion is possible if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose
used batteries according to the instruction.
This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug with a third
(grounding) pin. This plug is intended to fit only into a grounding type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
by removing the grounding type plug. Do not use a 3-to-2 prong adapter at the
receptacle. Use of this type of adapter may result in risk of electric shock and/or
damage to this product.

Hardware Setup
2.1 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.1.1 Removing the Processor Heatsink
The heatsink is attached to the server board or processor socket with captive fasteners.
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the heatsink corners in a
diagonal manner using the following procedure:
˙Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two rotations
and stop (see letter A).
˙Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter B). Similarly,
loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw two rotations each time
until all screws are loosened.
• Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).

4
2.1.2 Installing the Processor
2.1.2.1 Unlatch the CPU Load Plate
Push the lever handle labeled “OPEN 1st” (see letter A) down and toward the CPU
socket. Rotate the lever handle up.
Repeat the steps for the second lever handle (see letter B).

5
2.1.2.2 Lift open the Load Plate
•Rotate the right lever handle down until it releases the Load Plate
(see letter A).
•While holding down the lever handle, with your other hand, lift open
the Load Plate (see letter B).

6
2.1.2.3 Install the Processor
•Remove the processor from its package.
•Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the CPU, taking care not
to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).
•Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts match the four
orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Note the location of a gold key at the corner
of the processor (see letter C). Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.

7
2.1.2.4 Remove the Socket Cover. Remove the socket cover from the load plate by
pressing it out.
2.1.2.5 Close the Load Plate. Carefully lower the load plate down over the processor.
2.1.2.6 Lock down the Load Plate
Push down on the locking lever on the CLOSE 1st side (see letter A). Slide the tip of the
lever under the notch in the load plate (see letter B). Make sure the load plate tab
engages under the socket lever when fully closed.
b.Repeat the steps to latch the locking lever on the other side (see letter C). Latch the
levers in the order as shown.

8
2.1.3 Installing the Processor Heatsink
If present, remove the protective film covering the Thermal Interface Material on the bottom
side of the heatsink (see letter A).
• Align the heatsink fins to the front and back of the chassis for correct airflow. The airflow
goes from front-to-back of the chassis (see letter B).
• Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a diagonal manner
using the following procedure:
• Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw threads by giving it
two rotations and stop (see letter C). (Do not fully tighten.)
•Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see
letter D). Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.
• Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time until each screw is
lightly tightened up to a maximum of 8 inch-lbs torque (see letter E).
