Installing a Processor

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

1If you are upgrading your processor, 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.

2Unpack 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.

3Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-20.

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

4With 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.

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

7Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.

8Open 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.
