Removing the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM) from the
Motherboard
Before removing the processor heatsink module (PHM), unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
1. Using a T30 Torx-bit screwdriver, turn the screws on the PHM counterclockwise to
loosen them from the socket, starting with screw marked #4 (in the sequence of 4, 3, 2,
1).
2. After all four screws are removed, wiggle the PHM gently and pull it up to remove it
from the socket.
Note: To properly remove the processor heatsink module, be sure to loosen and re-
move the screws on the PHM in the sequence of 4, 3, 2, 1 as shown below.
