Lifters

Each Xeon processor requires two lifters in order to allow safe removal of the processor. The lifters clamp onto the top holes on the cartridge corners.

There is a left and a right side for the lifters. The left side has a single dot and the right side has two

dots (when holding the motherboard with the ATX connectors to the left).
