push the cap from the inside of the processor shield and move it away from the socket pins.
NOTE: It is recommended that you install/remove the socket protective cap from the processor shield with the
processor shield in the open position.
CAUTION: The socket pins are fragile and can be permanently damaged. Be careful not to bend the pins in the
socket when removing the processor out of the socket.
11. Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new
processor.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing a processor, you must install a socket protective cap and a
processor/DIMM blank in the vacant socket to ensure proper system cooling. The processor/DIMM blank
covers the vacant sockets for the DIMMs and the processor.
