Removing a processor
Prerequisites
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2. Remove the system board assembly.
3. Remove the heat sink.
CAUTION:
The processor is held in its socket under strong pressure. The release lever can spring up suddenly
if not firmly grasped.
Steps
1. Position your thumbs firmly over the processor socket release levers and release the levers from the locked position. Rotate
the levers 90 degrees upward until the processor is released from the socket.
2. Rotate the processor shield upward and out of the way.
3. Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the socket release levers up so that the socket is ready for the new
processor.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the CPU socket when removing the processor. Bending
the pins can permanently damage the system board. Be sure to properly align the process or notch to the
socket and insert straight down. Do not move from side to side.
