SUPER MICRO Computer 5017C-MTF, 5017C-MTRF manual

Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup

3.Use your thumb and your index ﬁnger to hold the CPU at the top center edge and the bottom center edge of the CPU.

4.Align the CPU key (the semi-circle cutouts) against the socket keys. Once aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down to the socket. (Do not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically.

Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damage to the CPU or the socket.)

With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.

5.Use your thumb to gently push the load lever down to the lever lock.

Save the plastic PnP cap. The motherboard must be shipped with the PnP cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment without the PnP cap properly installed will cause damage to the socket pins.
