2.1.1 Removing the Processor Heatsink
The heatsink is attached to the server board or processor socket with
captive fasteners. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws
located on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner using the following
procedure:
• Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by
giving it two rotations and stop (see letter A). (IMPORTANT: Do not fully
loosen.)
• Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop
(see letter B). Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and
B by giving each screw two rotations each time until all screws are
loosened.
• Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).
