19.On CPU box 2 install the new processor cartridges and VRMs. To install processor cartridges and VRMs follow steps 13 through 17 of the previous subsection Removing/Installing Processor Cartridges on System Baseboard in this chapter.

20.On CPU box 2 reattach the CPU cover removed in step 15 above.

21.Install CPU box 1 and CPU box 2 into their respective sockets on the system baseboard (see Figure 1-6). To install CPU boxes firmly hold the CPU box and insert it into the appropriate processor socket on the system baseboard between the CPU box guard rails and guides previously installed in steps 10 and 11 above. See Figure 4-26 to align the CPU box with its system baseboard socket.

22.Slowly push the CPU box with your thumbs as far as it will go into the system baseboard socket, see Figure 4-27.

Note: While pushing the CPU box into its socket make sure it goes through three steps. The CPU box is gradually inserted into the socket each time it is pressed, which is one step. It is firmly seated in the socket after going through three steps.
