Removing the Processor

CAUTION:

Despite having a plastic shield, the heat sink assembly may be very

hot during normal operation. Be sure that it has had sufficient time to cool before
you touch it.

NOTICE:

Unless a new heatsink is required for the new processor, reuse the

original heat sink fan assembly when you replace the processor.

then push down and out to release it from the tab that secures it.
