4. Remove the CPU module by simultaneously rotating the plastic levers on both sides to 90 degree position and gently lift the board straight up
6. Remove the memory dimms from the faulty/defective CPU module by rotating the dimm ejectors outwards. Gently pull the dimm straight out and place on anti-static mat.
7. Ensure dimm ejectors on new CPU module are fully open and then insert the dimms into the replacement CPU module carefully, one at a time. Press down on the corners of the dimm until the ejectors shut firmly in place
