7. Grasp the system board by the microprocessor’s turbo-cooler heatsink and the handle
located on the back edge of the system board, and slide the system board toward the
front of the workstation (in the direction of the arrow). See Figure 1-55. Note that this
step unlocks the system board from its standoffs.

8. Use the system board’s turbo-cooler heatsink and handle to lift it out of the
workstation. The system board must be angled when removing it from the workstation
such that the DIMM edge of the system board is two to three inches higher than the
turbo-cooler heatsink edge. This will prevent the system board components from
catching on the system divider panel. See Figure 1-56.
