Removing a processor
1.
Read through the instructions on page 4 of this chapter and any additional cautions given
here.
2.
Remove the access cover as detailed in Chapter 2 and the rear foam cover over the electronics
bay.
3.
As you work, place processors on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad.
4.
With your right thumb on the face of the retention module bracket (A) in illustration below,
wrap your right index finger around the tab (B) protruding from the right edge of the
bracket.
5.
Use your index finger to slightly pull the tab outward and to the left. You should not try to
pull the entire bracket; rather, the back of the tab has a latch (C) that releases when the TAB
is pulled slightly.
6.
When you have released the right edge of the bracket, rotate it 90 to the left until it is
perpendicular to the front of the retention module. The left edge of the bracket has an open
hinge that can release from the module when you rotate the bracket to the left.
7.
Disengage the open hinge by moving (not rotating) the entire bracket to the right. Remove
the bracket and set it aside.
8.
Pull the two tabs attached to the S.E.C. cartridge (visible after you remove the bracket (C) in
the illustration below, straight away from the baseboard. As you do, the cartridge disengages
from its connector on the baseboard.
9.
Slide the S.E.C. cartridge straight away from the baseboard, out of the retention module. Put
it on a piece of conductive foam and store it in an antistatic package.
