2.
Remove the memory carrier assembly. See
“Removing and Replacing the Memory Carrier
.
NOTE:
You must remove the memory carrier assembly because it attaches directly to the
processor board.
3.
Remove the processor board assembly. See
“Removing and Replacing the Processor Board
.
4.
Open the processor cage (
a.
Grasp the processor cage handle and rotate the handle upward.
b.
Use the handle to rotate the cage closure 90 degrees toward the front of the assembly
until it stops.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the processor slot is entirely exposed. The processor must clear
the cage closure for proper installation.
5.
Locate the appropriate processor slot (Module 0 or Module 1) to install the processor into
(
).
6.
Remove the plastic airflow blocker covering the processor slot if required.
7.
Remove the ZIF socket cover from the processor socket if required.
8.
Ensure that the cam on the processor socket lock is in the unlocked, counterclockwise
position (
). The ZIF socket for the processor is locked and unlocked by half a turn
of the processor install tool. Rotate the cam counterclockwise 180 degrees (half turn) to
unlock the socket.
CAUTION:
Attempting to turn the locking mechanism more than 180 degrees can severely
damage the socket.
9.
Remove any protective packaging from the processor.
NOTE:
Protective covers are installed to protect connector pins. Save the covers for future
use.
10. Inspect the processor pins and verify that the pins are not bent.
11. Align the alignment holes on the processor with the alignment posts on the processor cage,
and carefully lower the processor onto the processor socket (
and
).
CAUTION:
Do not press the processor into the socket. When properly aligned, the
processor pins seat into the socket. No additional pressure is required. You can damage
the pins if you apply too much pressure.
12. Lock the processor into the socket on the processor board (
).
a.
Unfasten the processor install tool (2.5-mm driver) from the tool holder on the processor
board.
b.
Insert the processor tool into the hole that runs down the side of the heatsink.
c.
Rotate the processor tool clockwise 180 degrees.
CAUTION:
Attempting to turn the locking mechanism more than 180 degrees can
severely damage the socket.
d.
Refasten the processor install tool to the tool holder on the processor board.
13. Reconnect the processor power cable into the connector cable that attaches directly to the
processor board (
