CAUTION: Many
repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should
only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by
Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
NOTE: If you are installing
just one processor, it must be installed in socket CPU1.
NOTE: You must remove a
processor to upgrade a processor or replace a faulty processor.
Follow the safety guidelines listed
in safety instructions section.
Keep the Phillips #2 screwdriver
ready.
Follow the procedure listed in the
Before working inside your system section.
Remove the processor or processor
blank or DIMM blank.
Steps
Unlatch and rotate the socket-release levers
90 degrees upward and ensure that the socket-release lever is fully
open.
Hold the tab on the processor shield and rotate
the shield upward and out of the way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you install or remove the socket protective
cap from the processor shield with the processor shield in the open
position.
If installed, remove the socket protective
cap from the processor shield. To remove the socket protective cap,
push the cap from the inside of the processor shield and move it away
from the socket pins.
CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently
damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the
pins in the socket.
CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned
correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
Install the processor in the socket:
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor
by locating the tiny gold triangle on one corner of the processor.
Place this corner in the same corner of the ZIF socket identified
by a corresponding triangle on the system board.
Align the pin-1 corner of the processor
with the pin-1 corner of the system board.
Set the processor lightly in the socket.
Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket,
do not use force. When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops
down into the socket with minimal pressure.
Close the processor shield.
Rotate the socket-release lever 1 and lever
2 simultaneously until it is locked in position.
Next steps
Install the heat sink.
While booting, press F2 to enter System Setup and
verify that the processor information matches the new system configuration.
Run the system diagnostics to verify that the new
processor operates correctly.
