Removing and Replacing Parts : Dell Inspiron 8100
1. Align the pin-1 triangle on the microprocessor toward the pin-1 triangle in the connector, insert
the microprocessor into the socket, and move it around slightly until you feel it settle into the
socket.
When the microprocessor module is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned to the same
height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the others, the module is not seated
correctly.
NOTICE: Hold the microprocessor down while turning the cam lock screw to prevent
intermittent contact between the cam lock screw and microprocessor.
2. Tighten the cam lock screw.
NOTICE: Do not over or under tighten the screw. Tighten it until the screw indicator points to
the "closed" or "locked" indicator on the socket.
3. Replace the microprocessor thermal cooling assembly.
4. While pressing lightly down on the center of the retaining clip, insert a pry stick into the latch
mechanism and pivot the top of the pry stick away from the clip to close the latch.
