NOTE
The following procedure applies to the replacement or upgrade of microprocessors when
using an existing heat sink. If using a new heat sink with pre-applied thermal interface
(grease) material, follow the procedures outlined in “Installing a microprocessor” on page
26.
7.
Remove the heat sink:
a.
Unscrew the captive screw (A) and lift the retention bar (B).
b.
Lift the heat sink (C) off of the microprocessor.
c.
The heat sink may be difficult to remove from the microprocessor due to the bond formed by
the thermal grease. If necessary, use a slight twisting motion while simultaneously lifting up
on the heat sink.
8.
Remove the microprocessor:
a.
Rotate the locking lever (A) on the microprocessor socket from its locked position until it
stops or clicks. It should be in the fully extended 90-degree position.
Attention: You must ensure that the locking lever on the microprocessor socket is in the
fully open position before you remove the microprocessor from the socket. Failure to do so
might result in permanent damage to the microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and/or
system board.
b.
Lift the microprocessor (B) out of the socket.
