disengage (open) the socket actuator, as shown in Figure 1

The socket actuator should open after only a half turn or so, and
you should then be able to remove the processor with your
fingers.
Procedure of Installation:
Step 1 Turn off the system.
Step 2 Disconnect the power connector.
Step 3 Loosen screws to remove the top and side covers from the
chassis.
