Microprocessor SEC Cartridge/Heat Sink Assembly Removal: Dell Precision™ WorkStation 210 Systems

NOTE: If your system has a heat shroud (see Figure 1-1 in Adding or Replacing a Processor), your processor is in the single-edged contact cartridge 2 (SECC2) package. To remove the heat shroud, SECC2 package, and heat sink assembly, see Adding or Replacing a Processor.

WARNING: The microprocessor SEC cartridge/heat sink assembly can get extremely hot. Be sure the assembly has had sufficient time to cool before you touch it.

1. Unscrew and remove the two thumbscrews that secure the heat sink to the system board.
2. Press the microprocessor SEC cartridge release latches inward until they snap into position.
3. Grasp the microprocessor SEC cartridge firmly, and pull straight up on the cartridge to remove it from the guide bracket assembly.
   You must use up to 15 pounds of force to disengage the microprocessor SEC cartridge from its connector.

To install a microprocessor SEC cartridge/heat sink assembly, first verify that the cartridge release latches are pulled out. Then slide the cartridge into the guide bracket assembly, with the heat sink toward the bottom of the chassis, and firmly seat the assembly. You must use up to 25 pounds of force to seat the cartridge in its connector. Install the two thumbscrews that secure the heat sink to the system board.

If you are installing a secondary microprocessor SEC cartridge/heat sink assembly, you need to remove the terminator card from the SLOT1_SEC connector on the system board.

1. Press the microprocessor SEC cartridge release latches inward until they snap into position.
2. Pull the terminator card straight out to remove it from the connector.
