Processor Modules

For ease of access, you may have to remove the power supply as described previously in "Power
Supply." See Chapter 4, "System Board," for connector and socket locations.
To replace a passive processor module:
1. Remove the heat-sink lock from within the heat-sink fins, if necessary, by pressing the ends of
the lock inward and pulling lock outward.
2. Press the locking tabs on the top corners of the processor inward, towards each other, until
they click into the release position.
3. Slide the processor module out of the retention module.
4. Remove the new processor from its antistatic package, and align the processor module over
the retention module. The processor module is keyed and fits only one way.
5. Press the processor module down until it seats.
6. Press the processor module locking tabs outward until they click into the locked position.
7. Install the heat-sink lock between the heat-sink fins, if necessary, by sliding the lock between
the fins and pressing it onto the heat-sink lock mounting posts.
The processor nearest the side of the chassis has a vertically oriented heat sink instead of a
horizontally oriented heat sink, as shown in the following figure. However, this processor
connects to the retention module in the same way as the other processor.
