To remove the processor, follow these instructions:
1.
Observe the safety and ESD precautions previously listed.
2.
Use a flat blade screwdriver to turn each connector 1/4 turn so it pops out of the server board.
Lift firmly since TIM may create some "stickiness" between heat sink and processor.
3.
Lift the heat sink from the processor.
4.
Lift the processor lever.
5.
Remove the processor. Hold it by the edges only.
6.
