Grasp the CPU by its edges, lift it out of the socket, and then place the CPU in a safe place.
Note:
If you remove the CPU from the motherboard to install it on a new motherboard, unpack the new motherboard
and remove the protective plastic cover from the CPU socket. Transfer the protective cover to the CPU socket of the
old motherboard to protect the circuitry.
To replace a CPU

Do one of the following:
•
If you are installing a new CPU cooling assembly on an existing CPU, clean the contact surface of the CPU to
remove any old thermal compound residue. A thermal pad is preinstalled on the underside of the new CPU
cooling assembly.
•
If you are installing the existing CPU and CPU cooling assembly on a new motherboard, clean the contact
surfaces of the CPU and cooling assembly as described above. Then apply fresh thermal compound to the
contact surface of the CPU using the applicator provided with the new motherboard.
