Hold the tab on the processor shield and rotate the processor shield upward until the open first
socket-release lever lifts up.
9.
Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the open first socket-release lever up so that the
socket is ready for the new processor.
CAUTION: The socket pins are fragile and can be permanently damaged. Be careful not to
bend the pins in the socket when removing the processor out of the socket.
NOTE: If you are permanently removing the processor, you must install a socket protective cap
in the vacant socket to protect the socket pins and keep the socket free of dust.
NOTE: After removing the processor, place it in an antistatic container for reuse, return, or
temporary storage. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Touch only the side edges of
the processor.
