CAUTION: The microprocessor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the microprocessor has had sufficient time to cool before
handling.
NOTICE: Never remove the heat sink from a microprocessor unless you intend to remove the microprocessor. The heat sink is required to maintain
proper thermal conditions.
NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the microprocessor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the microprocessor.
