CPU Removal & Insertion (Figure 1)
Note: Observe Electro Static Discharge (ESD) precautions.

The steps for removal of the SEC Cartridge are as follows:

  1. Ensure that the system is powered off, but still plugged in.
  2. If the SEC cartridge (A) has a full-size heatsink mounted on it, remove the Heatsink Support Top Bar (D) from the Heatsink Support Base (C) by squeezing together the tabs at either end of the bar and pulling the bar away from the SEC cartridge.
  3. If the heat sink has a fan mounted on it, disconnect the fan power supply from the motherboard.
  4. Remove the SEC from the SEC Cartridge Retention Mechanism (B) by squeezing together the left and right latch arms (E & F) at the end of the SEC cartridge, and pulling the cartridge straight up.

Reverse the above procedure for reinstallation.
