Figure 16 Removing the heatsink
IMPORTANT: If the heatsink has been removed for any reason on a previously installed processor, it
is critical that you apply more thermal interface material to the integrated heat spreader on the
processor to ensure proper thermal bonding between the processor and the heatsink.
To remove a processor:
1.
Disengage the load lever.
2.
Lift the retention plate to expose the socket body.
3.
Grasp the processor by its edges and lift it out of its socket.

CAUTION: The pins of the socket are very fragile. Do not bend or damage them.
CAUTION: Place the processor on a static-dissipating work surface or in an anti-static bag.
