Removing The Celeron Or Pentium Iii Processor Cartridge; Removing The Celeron Or Pentium Iii Processor - NEC POWERMATE 8100 Series Service And Reference Manual

Before starting, you must first determine which processor your system has, as
the type of processor determines the installation procedure you use. Check the
side of the cartridge for processor identification.
If your system has a Celeron or Pentium III processor, see the next section,
"Removing the Celeron or Pentium III Processor Cartridge." If your system has
a Pentium II processor, see "Removing the Pentium II Processor Cartridge."

Removing the Celeron or Pentium III Processor Cartridge

Remove the Celeron or Pentium III processor cartridge from the system board as
follows.
Note: NEC CSD recommends that you print out or write
down your current BIOS Setup parameters and store the
information in a safe place before removing your processor.
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the system power cord.
2. Let the components within the system cool for about 10 minutes before
removing the processor.
If the system has been running, any processor or heat sink
already installed on the board will be hot. To avoid the
possibility of a burn, let the components cool for 10 minutes
before continuing with the procedures described here.
3. Remove the system unit cover (see "Removing the Cover").
Before removing the system unit cover, turn off the power
and unplug the system power cable. Power is removed only
when the power cable is unplugged.
4. If the cartridge has a cooling fan, label and unplug the cooling fan cable
from its connector on the system board.
5. Locate the processor socket on the system board.
Before picking up the processor, reduce static discharge by
touching the metal frame of the system unit.
