Removing A Processor - Intel SR870BN4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Removing a Processor

To remove a processor:
1. Remove the power pod associated with the processor to be removed as described in "Removing
a Power Pod" on 215.
2. Loosen the four captive screws on the processor (B in Figure 93. Removing a Processor).
3. Using a 2.5 mm hex driver, rotate the processor release mechanism 90 degrees
counter-clockwise (A in Figure 93. Removing a Processor) to release the processor's pins so
that the processor can be lifted out of the socket.
4. Place the processor on a clean, ESD-protected work surface, in an antistatic bag, or in the
processor's original "clamshell" container.
NOTE
Once the processor is removed, note that the release mechanism shows the
socket is open (see inset). If not installing another processor at this time, use
a 2.5 mm hex driver to rotate the hex screw clockwise to the closed position
to release spring tension in the mechanism.
