Figure 3-27. Installing and Removing the Heat Sink

NOTICE:

Never operate your system with the memory cooling shroud removed. Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown

of the system and the loss of data.

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See

your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.

NOTICE:

When you remove the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor might adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is

recommended that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.

NOTICE:

Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper

thermal conditions.
