1. Turn the heatsink assembly upside down and set it on a flat surface.
2. Spread the four snaps that are hooked around the base of the heatsink 1 and lift the heatsink
from the shroud 2.
To install a new shroud, reverse the removal procedure.
When reinstalling the heatsink in the computer, make sure that the top of the processor and the
bottom of the heatsink have been cleaned with an alcohol wipe and fresh thermal grease has been
applied to the top of the processor.
Ä
CAUTION: Heatsink retaining screws should be tightened in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to
evenly seat the heatsink on the processor. This is especially important as the pins on the socket are very
fragile and any damage to them may require replacing the system board.
