Thermal/ Mechanical Specifications and Design Guide
The ILM assembly consists of a top frame, load plate, and two load levers. These
components together will provide the mechanism to apply uniform loading to the
processor’s IHS.
The frame provides the hinge locations for the Active lever and Hinge levers. While
secured to the backer plate, the ILM design ensures that the only features touching the
board are the insulator at the bottom of the ILM frame and on the top of the back plate.
2.1.5.2 ILM Design
The ILM is targeted to optimize the space available on either side of the LGA 2011-1
socket requires. The ILM assembly consists of 6 major pieces as shown in Figure 2-15:
hinge lever, active lever, load plate, ILM frame, ILM cover, and the captive fasteners.
