Processors
CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate: You might damage the system if you
install a processor that is inappropriate for your system. Make sure your
system can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power
considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability,
contact your customer service representative.
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch
the metal chassis before touching the processor or baseboard. Keep part of
your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge
while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
Removing a Processor
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional
cautions given here.
2. Remove the access cover (see page 89) and the rear foam cover over the electronics bay.
3. As you work, place processors on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad.
4. With your right thumb on the face of the retention module bracket (A in Figure 39), wrap your
right index finger around the tab (B in Figure 39) protruding from the right edge of the bracket.
5. Use your index finger to slightly pull the tab outward and to the left. You should not try to
pull the entire bracket; rather, the back of the tab has a latch (C in Figure 39) that releases
when the TAB is pulled slightly.
6. When you have released the right edge of the bracket, rotate it 90
°
to the left until it is
perpendicular to the front of the retention module. The left edge of the bracket has an open
hinge that can release from the module when you rotate the bracket to the left.
