Processor board replacement (trained technician only)

Follow instructions in this section to remove and install the processor board.

Important
Before you return the processor board, make sure that you install the CPU socket dust covers from the new processor board. To replace a CPU socket dust cover:

  1. Take a dust cover from the CPU socket assembly on the new processor board and orient it correctly above the CPU socket assembly on the removed processor board.

  2. Gently press down the dust cover legs to the CPU socket assembly, pressing on the edges to avoid damage to the socket pins. You might hear a click on the dust cover is securely attached.

  3. Make sure that the dust cover is securely attached to the CPU socket assembly.
