Processor, Removing - Intel R440LX Product Manual

Processor, Removing

CAUTION, ESD and handling processors
Do not touch or bend the processor's exposed pins. Reduce
the risk of electrostatic (ESD) discharge damage to the
processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal
chassis before touching the processor or motherboard.
Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to
dissipate the static charge while handling the processor.
(2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter
and the additional cautions given here. If the processor has a fan heat
sink, disconnect the power wire (B in the figure on page 95) from the
connector on the motherboard (C).
2. As you work, place boards and processors on a grounded, static-free
surface or conductive foam pad.
3. Press the processor latches (A) toward the center of the S.E.C. cartridge
to free them from the retention mechanism.
4. Lift the S.E.C. cartridge upward, out of the retention mechanism.
5. Put the processor in a piece of conductive foam and store in an antistatic
package.
