Processor
Removing the Processor
1. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
2. Loosen the captive screw on each side of the heat sink assembly.
3. Rotate the heat sink assembly upward, and remove the assembly from the computer.
Lay the heat sink assembly down on its top, with the thermal grease facing upward.
CAUTION: Despite having a plastic shield, the heat sink assembly may be very hot during normal operation. Be sure that it has had sufficient time
to cool before you touch it.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the processor or processor socket, slide the heat sink assembly forward and backwards to break the thermal grease seal
between the processor and heat sink. If you do not break the seal first, the processor may stick to the heat sink assembly while rotating the assembly
upward.
