microprocessor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
CAUTION: The microprocessor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the microprocessor has
had sufficient time to cool before handling.

5. Remove the heat sink.
6. Pull the socket release lever straight up until the microprocessor is released (see Figure 5-5 ).
7. Lift the microprocessor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new
microprocessor.
NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the microprocessor. Bending the pins can
permanently damage the microprocessor.
8. Unpack the new microprocessor.
If any of the pins on the microprocessor appear bent, see " Getting Help " for information about obtaining technical
assistance from Dell.
9. Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor with the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor socket (see Figure 5-5 ).
NOTE: Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the microprocessor correctly.
Identify the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor by locating the tiny gold triangle that extends from one corner of
the large central rectangular area. The gold triangle points toward pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a
square pad.
10. Install the microprocessor in the socket (see Figure 5-5 ).
NOTICE: Positioning the microprocessor incorrectly can permanently damage the microprocessor and the system
