Remove the processor shroud. See "Removing the Processor Shroud" on
page 72.
NOTICE:
When you remove the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor
might adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is recommended
that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.
NOTICE:
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove
the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
