3.1.1.1 Processor Socket Assembly
Each processor socket of the server board is pre-assembled with an Independent Latching
Mechanism (ILM) and Back Plate which allow for secure placement of the processor and
processor heat to the server board.
The illustration below identifies each sub-assembly component.

3.1.1.2 Processor Population Rules
Note: Although the Compute Module does support dual-processor configurations consisting of
different processors that meet the defined criteria below, Intel
®
does not perform validation
testing of this configuation. For optimal performance in dual-processor configurations, Intel
®
recommends that identical processors be installed.
When using a single processor configuration, the processor must be installed into the processor
socket labeled CPU1.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
Both processors must be of the same processor family.
Both processors must have the same number of cores.
Both processors must have the same cache sizes for all levels of processor cache
memory.
Processors with different core frequencies can be mixed in a system, given the prior
rules are met. If this condition is detected, all processor core frequencies are set to the
lowest common denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.
