Thermal/ Mechanical Specifications and Design Guide
•ILM
ILM is delivered with its cover in place. Verify the load plate is unlocked and the levers
are in their latched position. This will prevent damage to the socket during the ILM
installation.
The ILM fastener pattern also acts as a keying feature. Orient the ILM with respect to
the baseboard such that the pin-1 indicator on the ILM is oriented in the same direction
as the pin-1 on the socket.
Caution: Damage to the socket may occur if ILM is not properly oriented.
Align the ILM fastener pattern to the hole pattern on the baseboard. Verify the Torx-20
fasteners are resting on the back plate standoffs. Tighten the four (4) Torx-20 fasteners
with the matching torque driver set to 0.9 N.m [~8 in-lbf]. Damage to the processor
and its enabling components may result if the fasteners are not properly tightened.
Verify that the ILM and the backer plate are properly installed. There should be a zero
gap at the location of the ILM fasteners, and virtually no gap between the backer plate
and the baseboard.
• Socket Cover Removal
Note: To access the socket Pick’n’Place cover, lift the ILM load plate. While the Active lever is
unlatched and in its up position, press gently downward on the Hinge lever to aid in
raising the load plate tab such that it can be easily be held and lifted. (This step will
make it easier to lift the load plate and will potentially prevent damage to the socket
contacts when they are exposed.) Carefully remove the socket Pick’n’Place cover per
Figure A-2. ILM Installation onto Baseboard
