Installing and Replacing Hardware Parts Replacing the Processor CAUTION Figure 6-16 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 153 for instructions). 3. Place the Workstation on its side for better access. 4. Remove the heatsink power connector from the system board. 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. 5. Remove the two heatsink clips (if present) then lift off the heatsink. The small amount of heat created during the 3 to 5 minute warm-up should aid in separating the heatsink from the processor.
