Processor and Heat Sink Removal
The Celeron processor is installed in a Slot370 socket and is cooled by a
combination of a heat sink attached to the top of the processor and the CPU fan.
Remove the heat sink and processor as follows.
If the system was just running, the processor and heat sink
on the system board are hot. To avoid a burn, let the
components cool for 10 minutes before continuing.
Before handling components, reduce static discharge by
touching a metal part on the chassis.
1.
Remove the system board and support plate assembly (see “System Board
and Support Plate Assembly Removal” earlier in this section. It is not
necessary to remove the support plate.
2.
Position the system board with the processor side facing up and the support
plate facing down.
3.
Remove the two screws holding the CPU fan to the processor heat sink (see
the following figure). Move the fan aside.
It is not necessary to unplug the fan from its connector unless replacing the
fan (if replacing, see “CPU Fan Removal” earlier in this section).
