Removing the Pentium II Processor
To remove the Pentium II processor from the motherboard, follow
these steps (the reverse of the installation process).
1. Disconnect the fan power cable from the motherboard. It is rec-
ommended to leave the cable connected to the processor.
2. Slide the clips on the supports backward to release the pegs in
the motherboard. Push the latches on the processor toward the
center of the processor until they click into place.
3. Lift one end of the processor until it is freed from Slot 1. Lift the
other end of the processor until it is freed from Slot 1. Lift the entire
processor (with the fan heatsink supports attached) until it is free
from the retention mechanism.
4. Remove the heatsink support pegs from the motherboard and
discard them. With one hand, squeeze together the two halves of
the peg on the bottom side of the motherboard. With the other
hand, pull the peg out of the hole in the motherboard. Do not reuse
the pegs.
When handling the Pentium II processor, avoid
placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
When removing the Pentium II processor, avoid pressing
down on the motherboard or components. Instead,
press down on the plastic connectors.
