b) Pinch inward on the CPU-carrier inner-latch that is nearest the TIM breaker slot and then push up to
disengage the clip from its slot in the heatsink corner.
c) Insert the blade of a #1 flat-head screwdriver into the slot marked TIM BREAKER.
d) Gently rotate the screwdriver to lift the CPU heat spreader until the TIM on the heatsink separates from
the CPU.
Use caution to avoid damaging the heatsink surface. Do not allow the screwdriver tip to touch or
damage the green CPU substrate.
Note
e) Pinch the CPU-carrier inner-latch at the corner opposite the TIM breaker and push up to disengage the
clip from its slot in the heatsink corner.
f) On the remaining two corners of the CPU carrier, gently pry outward on the outer-latches and then lift the
CPU-assembly from the heatsink.
Handle the CPU-assembly by the plastic carrier only. Do not touch the CPU surface. Do not
separate the CPU from the carrier.
Note
Step 3
The new CPU assembly is shipped on a CPU assembly tool. Take the new CPU assembly and CPU assembly
tool out of the carton.
If the CPU assembly and CPU assembly tool become separated, note the alignment features shown in the
following figure for the correct orientation. The pin 1 triangle on the CPU carrier must be aligned with the
angled corner on the CPU assembly tool.
