Step 3. Removing the CPU Chip
1.
Remove the Heatsink Retaining Clip: If your CPU has a heatsink
similar to the illustration below, it is most likely secured with a
retaining clip. Before removing the CPU chip from its socket, you
must first unlatch the retaining clip by pressing down on the retaining
clip tab (See Figure 4) then prying one side of the retaining clip latch
using the screwdriver (provided). Try not to touch the motherboard
or any other components near the socket. With the retaining clip
completely removed from the heatsink, you are ready to remove the
CPU chip.
Note: The retaining clip is not needed for the TurboChip upgrade.
2.
Unlock the Socket: Socket 7 and Socket 5 ZIF (zero insertion
force) sockets use a side bar lever to lock and unlock the socket.
Unlatch the side lever and lift upward to unlock the processor chip.
Once the socket is in the unlocked position, remove the CPU by
grasping the sides of the chip with your fingers.
Note: you may use the TurboChip's protective foam packaging to
store your original CPU chip.
