3. If the computer was turned on prior to commencing this
procedure, wait at least 15 minutes for the processor to cool
down before proceeding.
Warning
Warning
The processor can get very hot. You may burn your fingers if you
attempt to remove the processor before it has cooled down. Also, the
processor's pins expand slightly when hot and this can prevent it
being removed from the socket.
3. Use the illustration at the beginning of the chapter to locate the
ZIF processor socket. The lever attached to the socket secures
the processor in the socket.
4. You will need to remove the heatsink retaining clip before you
attempt to lift the lever which secures the processor into the
socket.
If your upgrade processor is not supplied with a built-in heat
sink or cooling fan, you will have to re-use the heat sink
currently attached to your old processor.
5. Lift this lever (shown below) from its locked position until it is
upright (at right-angles to the motherboard). The first and last
15° of movement may require significant effort. Apply just
enough pressure to overcome the resistance offered by the lever.
6. Lift the processor out of the socket and place it on an anti-static
surface outside the system unit. Hold the processor by its edges
and avoid touching the metal pins.
