Processor
To remove the processor:
1. Disconnect power from the system (page 79), remove the access panel (page 86), and remove the
CPU heatsink (page 116).
2. Raise the processor socket handle fully (the full swing angle of the lever is approximately 90 degrees).
3. Pull the processor straight out of the socket.
CAUTION: Handle the processor carefully. To avoid bending the processor pins, keep the processor
perfectly flat when removing and storing it.
NOTE: Store the processor in a safe place where it will not be damaged. If you are permanently
removing a second processor, check your OS documentation to determine if you should change any OS
settings to disable multiprocessor support.
