Removing a Processor
After the power pod is removed, refer to Figure 62 and use the following instructions to remove the
processor:
1. Loosen the four captive screws on the processor.
2. Using a 2.5-mm hex driver, rotate the processor release mechanism 90 degrees
counter-clockwise to release the processor’s pins.
3. Lift the processor from the socket. See number 4 in the figure below.
4. Place the processor on a clean, ESD-protected work surface, in an antistatic bag, or in the
processor’s original container.
5. Install a replacement processor or a thermal blank.

NOTE
Once the processor is removed, note that the release mechanism shows the socket
is open (see figure inset). If you are not installing another processor, use a 2.5-mm
hex driver to rotate the hex screw clockwise to the closed position to release spring
tension in the mechanism.
