Dell EMC PowerEdge R7425 Installation and Service Manual

Installing the processor

Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.

If installed, remove the processor blank. The procedure to remove a processor blank is similar to that of the processor.
Figure 1. Removing a processor blank
Holding the blue tab on the processor tray, slide the tray into the processor socket frame until firmly seated.
Figure 2. Placing the processor into the processor socket frame
Lower the rail frame down until the blue latches lock into place.
Figure 3. Closing the processor socket frame
Secure the processor socket cover to the processor socket base by tightening the screws in the sequence 1, 2, and 3. When all three screws are fully threaded, the socket is then actuated. The three screws are tightened to a torque value of 16.1 ± 1.2 kgf-cm (14.0 ± 1.0 lbf-in).
NOTE Press the force plate while tightening the screws to avoid tilting of the processor cover out of the processor socket.
