Removing The Pentium Ii Processor Cartridge - NEC PowerMate VT 300i Series Service And Reference Manual

Removing the Pentium II Processor Cartridge

Remove the Pentium II processor cartridge from its Slot 1 socket and universal
retention mechanism on the system board as follows.
Before handling components, reduce static discharge by
touching the chassis.
1. Remove the left side cover (see "Removing the Left Side Cover" earlier in
this section).
2. Position the system on its right side for easier access to the system board and
processor cartridge.
If the system was just running, the processor and heat sink
on the system board are hot. To avoid a burn, let the
components cool for 10 minutes before continuing.
3. Locate the processor cartridge on the system board. If necessary, remove
any expansion board(s) blocking access to the processor cartridge.
4. If the processor cartridge has an attached cooling fan, tag and unplug the fan
cable from its connector (CPUFAN) on the system board.
5. If the system has a plastic "top" bar holding the processor and heat sink in
place, remove the bar as follows (see the following figure). If the system
does not have the top bar, go to step 6.
T
Remove the DIMM memory module from DIMM socket 1 and place it
on an antistatic surface (see "Removing a DIMM" earlier in this
section).
T
Squeeze each end of the top bar and lift it out of the processor heat sink
and retention mechanism.
T
Continue to step 6 to remove the cartridge processor.
6. Press the two locking levers in as far as they go to release the processor
cartridge from the retention mechanism.
7. Carefully pull the cartridge straight up and out of the connector and retention
mechanism.
