5.Insert the new SEC cartridge/heat sink assembly into the system board connector.

Orient the SEC cartridge/heat sink assembly with the heat sink facing the right (as you face the front of the chassis). Align the sides of the heat sink with the guide brackets and press the SEC firmly into its connector until it is fully seated. The guide brackets will snap into place, securing the SEC cartridge in the connector on the system board.

NOTE: You must use up to 25 pounds of force to fully engage the SEC cartridge in the connector.

6.Connect the microprocessor fan cable to the connector on the system board.

7.Replace the computer cover, and reconnect your computer and peripherals to their electrical outlets and turn them on.

NOTE: If Enabled, the Chassis Intrusion option will cause the following message to be displayed at the next system start-up:

ALERT! Cover was previously removed.

8.Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the installed microprocessor is correctly identified.

As the system boots, it detects the new microprocessor and automatically changes the system configuration information in the System Setup program.

9.Run the Dell Diagnostics to verify that the new microprocessor is operating correctly.

See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on running the Dell Diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur.
