5. Ensure that the heatsink is warm to the touch.
CAUTION: Lifting the heatsink straight up while it is in a cold state can
result in damage to the processor, because it may prematurely pull the
heatsink and processor assembly out of the processor socket. If this should
occur, you will need to open the processor socket by lifting up on the
processor retention lever before attempting to install the new processor.
If the heatsink is cold to the touch, see “Guidelines for Separating the
Heatsink/Processor Assembly” in this chapter.
