CAUTION: Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless
you intend to replace the processor. The heat sink is necessary
to maintain proper thermal conditions.
WARNING: The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the
system has been powered down. Allow the heat sink to cool before
removing it.
1.
Using a Torx #T30 screwdriver, loosen the screws on the heat sink in the
order below:
a.
Loosen the first screw three turns.
b.
Loosen the second screw completely.
c.
Return to the first screw and loosen it completely.
NOTE:
It is normal for the heat sink to slip off the blue retention clips
when the screws are partially loosened, continue to loosen the screw(s).
2.
Pushing both blue retention clips simultaneously, lift the processor and heat
sink module out of the system.
3.
Set the processor and heat sink module aside with the processor side
facing up.
