Installing a processor and heat sink module
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to replace the processor. The heat sink is necessary to
maintain proper thermal conditions.
WARNING:
The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the heat sink to
cool before removing it.
