Removing the CPU Card

The CPU card contains your system’s microprocessor(s) and

cache memory. The card plugs into a proprietary slot on your

main system board. You may need to remove your card to

replace it with a new card or to access other components on the

main system board.

Before you can remove the CPU card, you must first remove

the retaining bracket that holds it in place. Follow these steps:

Squeeze together the tabs on the slotted end of the retaining

bracket that protrudes from the hole in the back of the

computer. Slide the bracket toward the front of the

computer until the slotted end clears the hole, as shown

below.
