6.Open the processor cage (Figure 6-20).

a.Grasp the processor cage handle, and apply adequate force to rotate the handle upward.

b.Use the handle to rotate the cage closure approximately 90 degrees toward the front of the assembly until it stops.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the processors are entirely exposed and can clear the cage closure for removal.

7.Disconnect the processor power cable from the connector cable that attaches directly to the processor board (Figure 6-21).

8.Unlock the processor from the socket on the processor board (Figure 6-22).

a.Unfasten the processor install tool (2.5-mm driver) from the tool holder on the processor board.

b.Insert the processor tool into the hole that runs down the side of the heatsink.

c.Rotate the processor tool counterclockwise 180 degrees.

CAUTION: The zero insertion force (ZIF) socket for the processor is locked and unlocked by half of a full turn of the processor install tool. The counterclockwise 180 degree rotation (half turn) unlocks the socket. A clockwise 180 degree rotation locks the socket. Attempting to turn the locking mechanism more than 180 degrees can severely damage the socket.

d.Refasten the processor install tool to the tool holder on the processor board.

9.Remove the dual-core processor from the processor slot.

a.Carefully grasp the sheet metal that encases the processor.

b.Pull the processor straight up and out of the chassis.
