Microprocessor Module: Dell Inspiron 8200
NOTICE: Proper seating of the microprocessor module does not require force.
NOTICE: A microprocessor module that is not properly seated can result in an
intermittent connection and subsequent failures.
1. Align the pin-1 triangle on the microprocessor with the pin-1 triangle in the
socket, insert the microprocessor into the socket, and move the microprocessor
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 screw to prevent
intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor (see
"Microprocessor Cam
2. Tighten the cam screw.
NOTICE: Do not over- or undertighten the screw. Tighten the screw until the
screw indicator points to the "closed" or "locked" indicator on the socket.
3. Replace the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly.
