Note: After the processor cartridge is removed or replaced, the processor jumpers on the system board must be reset (see “Processor Jumper Settings” in Chapter 3).
Removing a Celeron or Pentium III Processor
Remove the Celeron or Pentium III processor cartridge from its Slot 1 socket and universal retention mechanism on the system board as follows.
!CAUTION
Before handling components, reduce static discharge by touching the chassis.
1.Power off the system and remove the left side cover (see “Removing the Left Side Cover” earlier in this chapter).
2.Position the system on its right side for easier access to the system board and processor cartridge.
!WARNING
If the system was just running, the processor cartridge and heat sink on the system board are hot. To avoid a burn, let the components cool for about 10 minutes before continuing.
3.Locate the processor cartridge on the system board (see the figure “System board sockets and connectors” earlier in this chapter).
