Board Installation
When the CPU is secured onto the slot, take the overhead clip and insert the
ends of the clip over the top of the side braces (See Figure 2-21 above). You
will hear a click when the overhead clip is fitted securely into the side braces.
Make sure the lowered lip of the
overhead clip is oriented away
from the CPU fan
(see Figure 2-22
left).
Removing CPU -
Removal of the CPU is basically the
reverse order of the installation steps. First remove the
overhead clip. You need to push BOTH side tabs (see Figure
2-22 above) inwards in order to unlock it from the side braces.
After removing the overhead clip, you need to release the
CPU from the braces one side at a time. Press the center
release tab of one of the side braces (see Figure 2-23 right)
while gently pulling that side of the CPU out of its slot.
Repeat the procedure for the other side brace. When both
ends of the CPU is loose from the side braces and the slot,
you will be able to remove it from the motherboard.
