Step 7. Using the CPU Install Tool 2.5-mm Allen wrench, lock the assembly to the socket by rotating the
cam on the socket 180 degrees clockwise.
TIP When rotating the locking cam, hold the palm of your hand on top of the assembly
and exert light pressure. This ensures that the assembly stays flush and level to the
socket while it is being tightened.
Step 8. Plug the processor cable into its socket on the extender board.
Step 9. Place the sequencer frame over the processor.
Step 10. Using your fingers, hand-tighten the two knurled thumbscrews on the sequencer frame just until
the screw stops turning.
NOTE Do not tighten the other four shoulder screws until you have first hand-tightened the
two knurled thumbscrews.
Step 11. Using a CPU Install Tool (Torx T15 driver), tighten the four remaining T15 shoulder screws until
they just bottom out. Follow the tightening sequence shown in Figure 6-18, “Installing Dual
Processor Module on Processor Extender Board.”
IMPORTANT Do not overtighten the four shoulder screws. They can shear off if overtightened.
Stop tightening the shoulder screws when you feel them just bottom out.
Step 12. Using the Torx T15 driver, finish tightening the two thumbscrews.
IMPORTANT Do not overtighten the two thumbscrews. They can shear off if overtightened.
Tightening the thumbscrews 1/4 turn tightens them sufficiently.
