removing and replacing hardware parts removing and replacing the processor CAUTION removing and replacing the processor removing the existing processor 1. Turn on the workstation for 3 to 5 minutes to warm up the heatsink and processor. This will make the separation of the heatsink and the processor easier. Do not leave the workstation on longer than 3 to 5 minutes as the heatsink may become too hot to touch. Switch off the display and workstation. Disconnect all power cables and any LAN or telecommunications cables. 2. Remove the workstation's cover (refer to page 142 for instructions). 3. Place the workstation on its side for better access. Note that you should place the workstation on a soft surface to keep from scratching the cover. 4. Disconnecting the heatsink fan's power cable from the system board. See Figure 6-33. If the Turbo-Fan (located in the center of the heatsink) has not been working, the heatsink may be hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the heatsink has cooled a little before removing.

2.
Remove the workstation’s cover (refer to page 142 for instructions).
3. Place the workstation on its side for better access. Note that you
should place the workstation on a soft surface to keep from scratching
the cover.
4. Disconnecting the heatsink fan’s power cable from the system board.
See Figure 6-33.
CAUTION
If the Turbo-Fan (located in the center of the heatsink) has not been
working, the heatsink may be hot enough to cause burns. Wait until
the heatsink has cooled a little before removing.
