Removing a Heat Sink
This procedure is only necessary if there is a heat sink covering the socket at the site where you want to add/replace a processor.
1. Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. (Figure 21, "A")
2. Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the processor socket. ("B")
3. Lift the heat sink from the socket. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heat sink again.
:
Do not force the heat sink. Doing so could damage the processor or the socket contacts.
