The heat sink and processor are hot to the touch for some time after

the system has been powered down. Allow the heat sink and processor to cool
before handling them.

CAUTION:

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.

screws. See Figure 3-20.

6 Wait 30 seconds for the heat sink to loosen from the processor.
7 Release the other heat-sink retention screws.

upside down (thermal grease side facing up).
