Abstract:
A method for assembling a modular integrated apparatus comprising:including a circuit board having electric power;assembling a field replaceable apparatus by:assembling a modular processor apparatus by:including a processor;including a landgrid array interposer socket that enables electrical connection between said circuit board and said processor;attaching a socket frame to said landgrid array interposer socket; andfitting said processor into said socket frame;attaching a support base to said socket frame thereby positioning said modular processor apparatus for connection of said processor to said circuit board; andconnecting a heat sink to said support base so that said modular processor apparatus thermally couples to said heat sink with a sufficiently low resistance thermal path to manage heat for said processor; andattaching said circuit board to said field replaceable apparatus thereby assembling said modular integrated apparatus so that said processor electrically connects to said circuit board.
