3.Remove the memory carrier assembly cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 183).

NOTE: You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however, the top cover release lever must be open. You must remove the memory carrier because it attaches directly to the processor board.

4.Remove the memory carrier assembly. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 204).

5.Remove the processor board assembly. See “Removing the Processor Board Assembly” (page 217).

6.Open the processor cage (Figure 6-20 (page 220)).

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 that the processor slot is entirely exposed. The processor must clear the cage closure for proper installation.

7.Locate the appropriate processor slot (Module 0 or Module 1) for the processor installation (Figure 6-20 (page 220)).

8.Remove the plastic airflow blocker covering the processor slot, if required.

9.Remove the protective dust cover from the processor socket, if required.

10.Ensure the cam on the processor socket lock is in the unlocked position (Figure 6-23).

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.

11.Remove any protective packaging from the new processor.

NOTE: Protective covers are installed to protect connector pins. Save these covers for future use.

12.Inspect the processor pins and verify that the pins are not bent.

13.Align the alignment holes on the processor with the alignment posts on the processor cage, and carefully lower the processor onto the processor socket (Figure 6-22and Figure 6-23).

CAUTION: Do not press the processor into the socket. When properly aligned, the processor pins seat into the socket. No additional pressure is required. Damage to the pins can occur if too much pressure is applied.

14.Lock the processor into the socket on the processor board (Figure 6-22).

a.Unfasten the processor install tool 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 clockwise 180 degrees.

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

15.Reconnect the processor power cable to the connector cable that attaches directly to the processor board (Figure 6-21).
