The AMD SP3 CPU Carrier Frame Installation Tool (also called a “CPU Carrier Frame Mount Caddy” or “CPU tray carrier”) is a small plastic/ESD‑safe bracket that holds the EPYC processor’s carrier frame in place during installation on an SP3‑type socket. It snaps onto the carrier frame’s six latches and aligns with the socket’s alignment pegs, ensuring the CPU pins stay protected and correctly positioned while the hold‑down screws are tightened. The tool is supplied as a single piece, without any cooling components, and is compatible with all AMD EPYC Threadripper SP3, TR4 and TRX4 socket CPUs. It is commonly used by system integrators and DIY builders to simplify the CPU‑installation process and prevent damage to the pins
