Figure 3-22. Removing the Heat Sink
NOTICE: If your upgrade kit included a thermal grease packet, you must use the thermal grease as instructed to ensure the proper thermal operating
condition for the processor. Failure to do so will result in damage to your system.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system.
Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the
computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
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.
