Dell R410 owner manual 128

10Rotate the processor shield upward and out of the way. See Figure 3-23.

11Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new processor.

CAUTION: Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the system board.

If you are permanently removing a processor from socket CPU2, you must install a processor blank and a heat-sink blank to ensure proper system cooling. Adding the blanks is similar to adding a processor. See "Installing a Processor" on page 129.

NOTE: In single-processor configurations, a processor must be installed in socket CPU1. Install the blanks in socket CPU2 only.
