processor. If you are changing the existing processor, remove it from

 

the socket by squeezing the tabs at the top and bottom of the

 

processor and gently pulling the processor away from the system

 

board. Then remove the VRM for the processor.

PC Workstation will void the warranty.

processor socket and slide the processor into the empty processor
