CHAPTER 4: Upgrading Your Computer
Loosen the four captive screws that secure the heat sink
and fan assembly to the system board, then remove the
assembly and place it on a stable surface with the flat
surface of the heat sink (the side with the thermal
grease) up. (The four screws cannot be completely
removed.)
Push the processor release lever down, lift it completely
up, then lift the processor retention bracket.
Remove the processor from the system board.
Install the new processor onto the system board. Make
sure that Pin 1 on the processor (indicated by the
silk-screened arrow on the corner of the processor)
aligns with Pin 1 on the processor socket (indicated by
the absence of a pin hole in the processor socket), then
return the retention bracket and lever to their locked
positions.
