Mac Pro Take Apart — Processor Heatsink Cover 56
If either of the two short mounting screws for the memory cage strip while you are
attempting to remove it, the screw will stay attached to its hex stando located below the
cage and you will be unable to remove the screw. In this case, do the following.
Note: To avoid scratching the enclosure in the following step, place a piece of sticky note
paper or removable masking tape over the enclosure edge where you insert the wrench.
• Insert the Apple Mac Pro wrench (part number 922-8025) around the hex stando located
directly below the stripped screw, as illustrated. Turn the wrench to separate the hex stando
from the enclosure. If both screws are stripped, alternate turning the wrench between the
two standos so that the memory cage rises evenly.
• Using a at-blade screwdriver, lift the cage over both standos and slide the cage as
described in step 3.
See also the replacement note for cages with stripped screws in “Memory Cage with
Rear Fan.” In addition, order screw 922-7703 to replace any stripped, short screws used in
securing the memory cage.
