Installing 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 If you are upgrading your processors, prior to upgrading your system, download and install the latest system BIOS version from support.dell.com. Follow the instructions included in the file download to install the update on your system. NOTE: In single-processor configurations, socket CPU1 must be used. 2 If you are adding a second processor for the first time, remove the heat-sink blank and the processor blank from the vacant processor socket. Removing the blanks is similar to removing a processor. See "Removing a Processor" on page 127. 3 Remove the processor from the packing material by the processor's edges only. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Handle the processor carefully with your fingers on the side edges. Place your hand beneath the processor when you are moving it to the system. 4 Locate the pin 1 indicator on the system board socket. 5 Locate the pin 1 indicator on the top of the processor. The pin 1 indicator is shown as a triangle on the top of the processor. See Figure 3-26. CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the socket. 6 Place the processor over the socket with each pin 1 aligned and level. See Figure 3-25 and Figure 3-26. CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket. 7 Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-25. 8 Install the processor in the socket. Keep the processor level (see Figure 3-25) and insert it straight down into the socket. Allow the processor to float on the pins, allowing the processor shield to hold it in place. 130 Installing System Components

Installing 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
If you are upgrading your processors, prior to upgrading your system,
download and install the latest system BIOS version from
support.dell.com
. Follow the instructions included in the file download to
install the update on your system.
NOTE:
In single-processor configurations, socket CPU1 must be used.
2
If you are adding a second processor for the first time, remove the
heat-sink blank and the processor blank from the vacant processor socket.
Removing the blanks is similar to removing a processor. See "Removing a
Processor" on page 127.
3
Remove the processor from the packing material by the processor’s edges
only. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Handle the processor
carefully with your fingers on the side edges. Place your hand beneath the
processor when you are moving it to the system.
4
Locate the pin 1 indicator on the system board socket.
5
Locate the pin 1 indicator on the top of the processor. The pin 1 indicator
is shown as a triangle on the top of the processor. See Figure 3-26.
CAUTION:
Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.
6
Place the processor over the socket with each pin 1 aligned and level. See
Figure 3-25 and Figure 3-26.
CAUTION:
Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is
positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
7
Align the
p
rocessor with the
socket keys on t
he ZIF socket. See
Figure 3-25.
8
I
nstall the processor in the socket. Keep the processor level (see
Figure 3-25) and insert it straight down into the socket.
Allow the
processor to float on the pins, allowing the processor shield to hold it
in place.
