To install a higher performance processor:
1. Turn off your computer and monitor and then disconnect all external
devices, monitor power, and ac power.
CAUTION: Static electricity collects on non-conductors such as
paper, cloth, or plastic. A static discharge can be damaging even
though you often cannot see or feel it. To prevent damage to
circuit boards and/or components:
•
Before touching any circuit board or component, touch the
metal frame of your computer to discharge any static
electricity.
•
Keep circuit boards and components away from non-
conductors.
2. Remove the outside cover.
3. If necessary, disconnect the CPU fan connector from the main logic
board.
4. Using a small screwdriver, release the retaining clip on the heat sink.
Use caution so as to avoid damaging the main logic board.
5. Separate the heat sink from the processor.
6. Lift the lever up and out to release the processor.
