- Getting help
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.
CAUTION: The processor is held in its socket under strong pressure. Be aware that the release lever can spring
up suddenly if not firmly grasped.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing a processor, you must install a socket protective cap and a
processor/DIMM blank in the vacant socket to ensure proper system cooling. The processor/DIMM blank covers
the vacant sockets for the DIMMs and the processor.
NOTE: This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures should be performed only by Dell
certified service technicians.
NOTE: To ensure proper system cooling, you must install a processor blank in any empty processor socket.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
3. If you are upgrading your system (from a single processor system to a dual processor system or a processor with a higher
processor bin), download the latest system BIOS version from Dell.com/support and follow the instructions included in the
compressed download file to install the update on your system.
4. Remove the cooling shroud.
NOTE: If applicable, close the expansion card latch on the cooling shroud to release the full length card.
5. Remove the heat sink.
6. If installed, remove the processor/DIMM blank.
7. Keep the Phillips #2 screwdriver ready.
Steps
1. Using a clean, lint-free cloth remove any thermal grease from the surface of the processor shield.
CAUTION:
The processor is held in its socket under strong pressure. Be aware that the release lever can
spring up suddenly if not firmly grasped.
2. Position your thumb firmly over the socket-release lever 1 and lever 2 of the processor and release both the levers
simultaneously from the locked position by pushing down and out from under the tab.
