Microprocessor Module: Dell Latitude C610/C510 Service Manualfile:///C|/Work%20Area%20-%20A/E%20DOC%20Posting/latc610/service%20manual/cpu.htm[2/1/2013 11:00:49 AM]NOTICE: To ensure maximum cooling for the microprocessor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on themicroprocessor thermal cooling assembly. The oils in your skin reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.3. Remove the microprocessor thermal cooling assembly.NOTICE: When removing the microprocessor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins onthe microprocessor module.4. To loosen the ZIF socket, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver and rotate the ZIF-socket cam screw counter-clockwiseuntil it comes to the cam stop.The ZIF-socket cam screw secures the microprocessor to the system board. Take note of the arrow on the ZIF-socketcam screw (see "Microprocessor Module Removal").5. Use a microprocessor extraction tool to remove the microprocessor module.Replacing the Microprocessor ModuleNOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating the microprocessor module. Seating themicroprocessor module properly in the ZIF socket does not require force.NOTICE: A microprocessor module that is not properly seated can result in an intermittent connection, or permanentdamage to the microprocessor and ZIF socket.1. Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket, and insert themicroprocessor module.NOTE: The pin-1 corner of the microprocessor module has a triangle that aligns with the triangle on the pin-1corner of the ZIF socket.NOTICE: You must position the microprocessor module correctly in the ZIF socket to avoid permanent damage to themodule and the socket.When the microprocessor module is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or morecorners of the module are higher than the others, the module is not seated correctly.NOTICE: Hold the microprocessor down while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the camscrew and microprocessor (see "Microprocessor Module Removal").2. Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the microprocessor module to the system board.3. Update the BIOS using a flash BIOS update program floppy disk or CD. For instructions on how to flash the BIOS, see"Flashing the BIOS."Back to Contents Page
