Removing a Processor Cartridge or Termination Board
Use the following procedure to remove a processor cartridge or termination
board.
1.
Perform steps 1 through 6 of the previous subsection "Installing a Processor
Cartridge."
Note:
Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic
wrist strap. Hold processors only by their edges.
2. On the processor or termination card being removed, push in the right end of
the retention arm to release the arm.
3.
Pull the retention arm toward you and remove the arm (see Figure 4-13).
4.
Open the two card ejectors (one on each side) and pull the cartridge or
termination board straight out to disengage the cartridge or board from the
CPU baseboard (see Figure 4-14).
5. Pull the cartridge or termination board straight out of the retention module.
Place on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad.
6. Put the old cartridge in conductive foam and store in an antistatic package.
7.
Install a new processor cartridge or termination card (see “Installing a
Processor Cartridge”). If not installing a processor, install a termination card
the same way as a cartridge and remove the appropriate VRM module(s).
