CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized
in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone
service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized
by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety
instructions that are shipped with your product.
NOTE: This is a Field Replaceable
Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures should be performed
only by Dell certified service technicians.
NOTE: If you are installing
just one processor, it must be installed in socket CPU1.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety
instructions section.
Follow the procedure listed in the Before working
inside your system section.
Remove the processor or processor blank or DIMM blank.
If you are upgrading
your system (from a single processor system to a dual processor system
or a processor with a higher processor bin) download the latest system
BIOS version from Dell.com/support and follow the instructions
included in the compressed download file to install the update on
your system.
NOTE: You
can update the system BIOS by using Lifecycle Controller.
WARNING: The heat sink and processor are too hot
to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down.
Allow the heat sink and processor to cool down before handling them.
CAUTION: Never remove the heat sink from
a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The heat sink
is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
Steps
Unpack the new processor.
Locate the processor socket.
Unlatch and rotate the socket-release levers
90 degrees upward and ensure that the socket-release lever is fully
open.
Hold the tab on the processor shield and rotate
the shield upward and out of the way.
NOTE: Dell recommends that you install or remove the socket protective
cap from the processor shield with the processor shield in the open
position.
If installed, remove the socket protective
cap from the processor shield. To remove the socket protective cap,
push the cap from the inside of the processor shield and move it away
from the socket pins.
CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently
damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the
pins in the socket.
CAUTION: Do
not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned
correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
Install the processor in the socket:
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor
by locating the tiny gold triangle on one corner of the processor.
Place this corner in the same corner of the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)
socket identified by a corresponding triangle on the system board.
Align the pin-1 corner of the processor
with the pin-1 corner of the system board.
Set the processor lightly in the socket.
Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket,
do not use force. When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops
down into the socket with minimal pressure.
Close the processor shield.
Rotate the socket-release lever 1 and lever
2 simultaneously until it is locked in position.
Next steps
NOTE: Ensure that you install
the heat sink after you install the processor. The heat sink is necessary
to maintain proper thermal conditions.
Install the heat sink.
If you
are permanently removing the processor and the heat sink, ensure that
you install a processor/DIMM blank.
Follow the procedure listed in the After working
inside your system section.
