3. If you are adding a second processor to a single-processor system, remove the
terminator card from the secondary SEC cartridge connector (labeled
“SLOT1_SEC”).
Press the SEC cartridge release latches inward until they snap into position . Pull
the terminator card straight out to remove it from the connector.
4. If you are replacing an installed processor, remove the current SEC cartridge/heat
sink assembly from its connector.
Unscrew and remove the two large thumbscrews that secure the heat sink to the
system board. Press the SEC cartridge release latches inward until they snap into
position. Grasp the SEC cartridge assembly firmly, and pull it away from the guide
bracket assembly (see Figure 8-8). You must use up to 15 pounds (lb) of force to
disengage the SEC cartridge from the connector.
