10 Dell PowerEdge 6100/200 System Microprocessor Replacement
Figure 8. Removing a Microprocessor
6. Lift the microprocessor out of its socket.
To install the replacement microprocessor/heat sink assembly, ensure that the
microprocessor release lever is in its fully vertical position to allow the micro-
processor pins to easily slip into the socket. When the microprocessor/heat sink
assembly is in place, rotate the microprocessor release lever to its horizontal
position. Hook the microprocessor securing clip over the socket tab nearest the
front of the system board, and then snap it over the tab on the back of the socket.
Pin 1 on the microprocessor is located on the corner with the largest bevel and
the top of the chip also may have a dot (see Figure 9). The pin-1 hole in the
microprocessor socket is located on the corner where the holes are in a diagonal
pattern.
Figure 9. Pin-1 Identification
Correct any necessary jumper settings on the microprocessor module (see Fig-
ure 5 and Table 1) if you add or remove a microprocessor. Verify that the system
setup program and the system configuration utility settings are correct after the
system is reassembled and turned on. See your system User’s Guide for more
information about these settings.
