Replacing the processor
1. Disconnect power from the system ( Pre-disassembly procedures on page 53). Remove the access
panel (
Access panel on page 58), the CPU heatsink (Removing the CPU heatsink on page 86),
and the processor (
Removing the processor on page 89).
2. Raise the processor socket handle fully (the full swing angle of the lever is approximately 105
degrees).
CAUTION Socket pins are delicate and bend easily. Use extreme care when placing the
processor in the socket to avoid bending pins.
3. Align the notches in the processor base with the tabs on the socket. Seat the processor into the
socket. Ensure that the underside of the processor is level with the top of the processor socket.
Close the processor cover plate. Lightly press down on the processor cover plate while closing the
socket lever.
