Before working inside your system

 on page 26.

3.

Remove the heat sink

.

CAUTION:

 You may find the CMOS battery loss or CMOS checksum error is displayed during the first instance

of powering on the system after the processor or system board replacement which is expected. To fix, go to set
up option to configure the system settings.

Steps

1. Using a Torx #T20 screwdriver, loosen the screws to release the force plate. The sequence to loosen the screws is 3, 2, and

1.
