Cpu (Processor) And Cpu Heatsink; Expansion Slots - HP Z1 G2 Maintenance And Service Manual

CPU (processor) and CPU heatsink

CAUTION: Observe the following cautions when removing or replacing the heatsink:
— When removing the heatsink, loosen all screws a little at a time to be sure that the CPU remains level. Do
not fully loosen one screw, and then move on to the next.
— Do not overtighten the heatsink screws. Overtightening can strip the threads in the chassis.
CAUTION: Observe the following cautions when removing or replacing the CPU.
— Internal components might be powered even when the computer is off. To prevent damage, disconnect the
computer power cord before you remove or install a component.
— Do not touch the CPU socket contacts or the gold pads underneath the CPU. Use extreme care and handle
the CPU only by the edges.
— The CPU socket contacts are delicate and bend easily. To avoid bending the contacts, use extreme care
when installing the CPU in the socket.
— Installing a processor incorrectly can damage the system board. Contact an authorized service provider to
install the processor. If you plan to install the processor yourself, view the entire remove-and-replace video
before you begin.
— Failure to follow the computer preparation instructions can result in an improperly installed processor,
causing extensive computer damage.
