Attention:
The heat-sink retention lever is spring-loaded when the heat sink
is in place. Releasing the lever too quickly or allowing it to spring upward can
damage the heat sink and surrounding components.
7. Remove the heat sink from the microprocessor:
a. Release the heat-sink retention lever by pressing down on the end, moving
it to the left and slowly releasing it to the open (up) position.
Important: Be careful when handling the microprocessor and heat sink. If
the microprocessor and heat sink will be reused, do not
contaminate the thermal material between them.
b. Tip the top of the heat sink up (away from the system board) while sliding it
away from the lower flange of the retention module; then, remove it from
the computer. After removal, place the heat sink on its side on a clean, flat
surface.
Note: The heat sink is keyed to a 45-degree angle in one corner of the
retention module to maintain proper orientation during installation.
