Dell PowerEdge 6600 - Manual (Page 61)

The following items are included in the microprocessor upgrade kit:
l A microprocessor
l A heat sink
l A VRM, if you are adding additional microprocessors
Adding or Replacing a Microprocessor
1. Remove the microprocessor tray (see " Removing the Microprocessor Tray ").
2. Place the microprocessor tray on a flat surface.
3. While holding the tab on the side release lever, rotate the lever up until the cover is released from the side of the enclosure (see Figure 6 -12 ).
Figure 6-12. Removing and Replacing the Microprocessor Cover
4. While holding the front release lever, rotate the lever up until the cover is released from the front of the enclosure (see Figure 6 -12 ).
5. Remove the cover.
6. Remove the heat sink (see Figure 6 -12 ).
7. Pull the socket release lever straight up until the microprocessor is released (see Figure 6 -13 ).

NOTE: A microprocessor and VRM must be installed in the CPU1 and VRM1 sockets, respectively. To identify CPU1 and VRM1 sockets, see Figure A -4 .
NOTICE: If a microprocessor socket does not have a microprocessor installed, a heat sink blank must be installed for that socket.
CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and disconnect it from its power source. For more information, see
" Safety First—For You and Your System " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
NOTICE: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your System Information document.
CAUTION: The microprocessor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the microprocessor has had sufficient time to cool before
handling.
NOTICE: Never remove the heat sink from a microprocessor unless you intend to remove the microprocessor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain
proper thermal conditions.
