Installing System Components

NOTICE:

Never remove the expansion card shroud or processor shroud without

first powering down the system. Overheating of the system can develop quickly
resulting in a shutdown of the system and the loss of data.

5 Locate the memory module sockets on the system board. See Figure 6-1.

CAUTION:

The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has

been powered down. Allow the DIMMs to cool before handling them. Handle the
DIMMs by the card edges, and avoid touching the DIMM components.

6 Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until the

memory module pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-33.

7 Install the processor shroud. See "Installing the Processor Shroud" on

page 74.

8 Install the expansion card shroud. See "Installing the Expansion Card

Shroud" on page 75.

NOTICE:

Never operate your system with the expansion shroud or processor

shroud removed. Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a
shutdown of the system and the loss of data.

9 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 70.

Processors

You can upgrade your processor(s) to take advantage of future options in speed
and functionality. Each processor and its associated internal cache memory are
contained in a land grid array (LGA) package that is installed in a ZIF socket on
the system board.
