Replacing the Processor

Removing the Existing Processor
1 Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables
and any LAN or telecommunications cables.
2 Remove the PC Workstation's cover (refer to page 25 for instructions).
3 Place the minitower on its side for better access.
4 Remove the heatsink power connector from the system board.
5 Remove the two heatsink clips (if present) then lift off the heatsink.
6 Open the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) lever, located at the side of the
processor socket, until it is in the vertical position, then carefully lift out
the processor. To avoid bending the processor pins, keep the processor
perfectly flat when removing it.
7 Store the processor in an anti-static bag (for example, the one provided
with the replacement processor).
