Removing and Replacing the CPU

Your workstation has either a single CPU or a dual CPU installed. Following are
instructions for removing and replacing each type of CPU. Follow the same instructions
for CPUs of different speeds.

Removing the CPU

To remove a CPU, power off your workstation, wait 5 minutes to allow the heat sinks to
cool, and attach the wrist strap. Then remove the system module, as described earlier in
this chapter, beginning on page 36, and follow these steps.
1. Loosen the four captive slotted screws holding the CPU in place, as shown in
Figure 2-11 (the dual processor has six captive screws).
Caution: Do not remove the four inner screws (not slotted) that hold the heat sink
to the CPU.
