Removing the Processor
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 came with the
product.
CAUTION:
The processor and heat sink can get very hot during normal operation.
Ensure that they have had sufficient time to cool before you touch them.
1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.
2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 47.
3 Detach the diskette cable that is braced on top of the shroud assembly and
move it aside.
4 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws holding the
heat sink and shroud assembly in place.
These captive screws are adjacent to the processor cooling fan housing. See
Figure 3-21.
5 Tilt the heat sink and shroud assembly away from the fan housing on its
pivot bracket and lift it out.
