The level 2 cache is located between the CPU riser card and the front drive bay assembly. If you
believe that the area is too small to adequately grasp the cache card, remove the CPU riser before
removing the cache (refer to CPU Removal/Installation on page 13).
4. Place both hands on either side of the L2 cache card and lift up. Because the L2 cache is held in
by a tight pressure fit, sometimes a gentle rocking motion from end to end (not side to side)
will make it easier to remove the cache card.
Installing the Cache
1. Hold the L2 cache card (contacts facing down) with one hand at each end. Notice that there are
notches in the contact edge of the L2 cache card.
2. Lower the L2 cache card squarely into the slot so that the notches in the L2 cache card line up
with the notches in the slot. Slide the contacts straight into the slot and make sure the contacts
are firmly seated. When properly seated, the contacts on the bottom should not be visible.

DonÕt force the L2 cache card into the slot; if the MLB starts bending significantly, pull the L2
cache card out, reposition it, and try again.
