c. Touch only the edges of the microprocessor. Do not touch the gold contacts on the bottom.
d. Do not drop anything onto the microprocessor socket while it is exposed. The socket pins must be
kept as clean as possible.
8. Ensure that the small handle is in the raised position.
9. Remove the protective cover that protects the gold contacts of the new microprocessor.
10. Hold the new microprocessor by its sides and align the small triangle on one corner of the new
microprocessor with the corresponding small triangle on one corner of the microprocessor socket.
11. Lower the new microprocessor straight down into the microprocessor socket on the system board.
12. Lower the small handle to secure the new microprocessor in the socket.
13. Reinstall the heat sink and fan assembly. See “Replacing the heat sink and fan assembly” on page 100.
14. Reconnect all cables that were disconnected from the system board.
What to do next:
• To work with another piece of hardware, go to the appropriate section.
• To complete the replacement, go to “Completing the parts replacement” on page 132.
Replacing the system board
Attention:
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Important safety information”
on page 1.
This section provides instructions on how to replace the system board.
CAUTION:
The heat sink and microprocessor might be very hot. Turn off the computer and wait three to five
minutes to let the computer cool before removing the computer cover.
To replace the system board, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the computer. Then, disconnect
all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the computer.
2. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the computer cover” on page 80.
3. Lay the computer on its side for easier access to the system board.
4. Remove all memory modules and PCI cards that are currently installed. See “Installing or replacing a
memory module” on page 85 and “Installing or replacing a PCI card” on page 82.
5. Carefully take note of the locations of all cable connections on the system board and disconnect all
the cables. See “Locating parts on the system board” on page 71.
6. Remove the heat sink and fan assembly from the failing system board. See “Replacing the heat sink and
fan assembly” on page 100.
