Removing the Microprocessor Heat Sink
6. Remove the microprocessor from its connector.
Your microprocessor uses a ZIF socket with a lever-type handle that secures or releases the microprocessor.
CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, see " Precautionary Measures ."
NOTICE: Before disconnecting a device from the computer or removing a component from the board, verify that the standby power light on the system board
has turned off. To locate this light, see " System Board Components ."
NOTE: If you are installing a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell, return the original heat sink assembly and microprocessor package to Dell in the
same package in which your upgrade kit was sent. Your microprocessor upgrade kit should include a replacement microprocessor heat sink and two
replacement securing clips.
NOTE: The bottom of the heat sink is coated with thermal grease that conducts heat from the microprocessor to the heat sink. Some of this grease will
remain on the microprocessor when you remove the heat sink.
NOTICE: While you are replacing the microprocessor, lay the heat sink down with the thermal grease facing upward. Do not lay the heat sink down with the
thermal grease touching the work surface.
