Thermal/ Mechanical Specifications and Design Guide
All pieces in the ILM assembly, except the fasteners, are fabricated from stainless steel.
The fasteners are fabricated from a high-carbon steel.
2.1.5.4 ILM Cover
An ILM cover is defined to help mitigate damaging socket contacts, and to provide
additional protection during the manufacturing and handling of the components. The
ILM cover provides protection until a processor is installed.
The ILM cover cannot
coexist with the LGA2011-1 socket Pick and Place cover. Meaning
that the socket cap must be removed in order to close the ILM load plate.
2.1.5.5 ILM Cover Attach/Removal Force
The required force to remove the ILM cover shall not exceed 12.68 N when the load is
applied by finger at the center of cover.
