1If you are upgrading your processors, prior to upgrading your system, download and install the latest system BIOS version from support.dell.com. Follow the instructions included in the file download to install the update on your system.

2Pull the locking lever of the processor socket out and up.

3Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.

If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from the top of the processor using a lint-free cloth.

4Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-8.

CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the ZIF socket.

5With the release lever on the processor socket in the open position, align the processor with the socket keys and set the processor lightly in the socket. See Figure 3-8.

CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.

6Close the processor shield.

7Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place.

8Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.

9Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply thermal grease evenly to the center of the top of the new processor.

CAUTION: Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.

10Install the heat sink. See "Installing the Heat Sink" on page 57.

11Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on page 55.

12Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 54.

13Reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn on the system.

14Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the processor information matches the new system configuration. See "System Setup Options at Boot" on page 34.
