4.Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and then press the power button to ground the system board.

5.Remove the computer cover.

NOTICE: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate any static electricity that could harm internal components.

6.Lift up the heat-sink shroud.

7.Press down on the latches to remove the securing clips from the heat sink.

NOTICE: Lay the heat sink down with the thermal material facing upward.

8.Lift the heat sink away from the microprocessor.

NOTICE: Do not discard the original heat sink and securing clips unless you are installing a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell. If you are not installing a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell, reuse the original heat sink, blower, and securing clips when installing your new microprocessor.

NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when you remove the microprocessor from its socket. Bending the pins can permanently damage the microprocessor.

Your microprocessor socket is a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket with a lever-type handle that secures the microprocessor in, or releases it from, the socket.

9.Pull the release lever straight up until the microprocessor is released, and then remove the microprocessor from the socket.

10.Leave the release lever extended so that the socket is ready for the new microprocessor.
