Step 7: Install Retention Mechanism Frame

In order to keep the retention mechanism lock bar from coming free and to add extra stability to the plastic retention mechanisms, a metal frame is used accross both retention mechanisms. After installing the frame, four captive nuts should be tightened on the feet of the frame to the screws protruding from the retention mechanisms. This is the end of the Xeon™ processor installation and you should have 4 extra (only 11 is used out of 15) captive nuts in case you loose any.

Removing the Xeon™ Processor

If you want to remove the processor, first remove the retention mechanism frame, then remove the cap. The processor is pulled out of the slot 2 connector by flipping both lifters at the same time so that the processor raises out of the connector. When both lifters are vertical, pull out the processor by holding the lifters.

The processor raised out of the slot 2 connector by the reverse force of the lifters as they are pryed to a vertical position.
