Microprocessor
You can upgrade the system processor(s) to take advantage of future options
in speed and functionality, or add a second processor. 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.
Replacing a 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.
1 Prior to upgrading your system, download the latest system BIOS version
on support.dell.com.
2 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from the electrical outlet.
3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 67.
4 Remove the fans from the center fan bracket. See "Removing and
Installing a Fan" on page 83.
5 Remove the center fan bracket. See "Removing the Center Fan Bracket"
on page 105.
NOTICE:
When you remove the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor
might adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is recommended
that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.
NOTICE:
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove
the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
6 Press the blue tab on the end of one of the heat-sink retention levers to
disengage the lever, then lift the lever 90 degrees. See Figure 3-24.
