4. If you are upgrading an existing microprocessor,
remove the microprocessor module:
a. Carefully stand the system board assembly on
one edge. Using a
1/4
-inch nut driver, remove
the two hexagonal screws securing the micro-
processor module to the system board (See
Figure 7-9).

Retention Screws
b. Disconnect the microprocessor temperature-
sensor cable from the system board and the
microprocessor module.
c. Press inwards on the microprocessor-module
retention latches (see Figure 7-10) until they
snap into a retracted position.
d. Lift the microprocessor module straight up and
out of the microprocessor retention bracket on
the system board.

Module
5. Install the new microprocessor module.
Align the microprocessor module with the micro-
processor retention bracket on the system board, as
shown in Figure 7-10. Lower the microprocessor
module into the microprocessor retention bracket,
and press firmly on the top of the module until the
microprocessor module is fully seated and the reten-
tion latches snap into position.
