							Microprocessor Module: Dell Inspiron 8200
NOTICE: To ensure maximum cooling for the microprocessor, do not touch the 
heat transfer areas on the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly. The \
oils in 
your skin reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads. 
4.  Remove the 
microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly. 
NOTICE: When removing the microprocessor module, pull the module straight 
up. Do not bend the pins. 
5.  Remove the microprocessor module. 
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the microprocessor, hold the screwdriver so that 
it is perpendicular to the microprocessor when loosening the cam screw (\
see 

Microprocessor Cam Screw). 
Microprocessor Cam Screw (Example) 
NOTICE: Hold the microprocessor down while turning the cam screw to prevent 
intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor.

NOTICE: Proper seating of the microprocessor module does not require force. 
NOTICE: A microprocessor module that is not properly seated can result in an 
intermittent connection and subsequent failures. 
1.  Align the pin-1 triangle on the microprocessor with the pin-1 triangle i\
n the  socket, insert the microprocessor into the socket, and move the micropro\
cessor 
around slightly until you feel it settle into the socket. 
When the microprocessor module is correctly seated, all four corners are\
 aligned 
to the same height. If one or more corners 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 cam screw and microprocessor (see 

Microprocessor Cam Screw). 
2.  Tighten the cam screw. 
NOTICE: Do not over- or undertighten the screw. Tighten the screw until the 
screw indicator points to the closed or locked indicator on the sock\
et. 
3.  Replace the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly.
