Remove the black plastic
retention frame from the
motherboard. Generally,
this is held in place with 2
metal screws.

(If there are plastic tabs
instead of screws, please
refer to the next section.)

Turn the motherboard over and push the center locking
bolt inward with a small fl at screw driver.

Finally, squeeze the remaining tabs together beneath
the board, and gently push them through with long-
nose pliers.

This should allow you to remove the CPU socket’s
black plastic rentention frame from the motherboard.

From the top side, pull up both plastic center locking
bolts.

For motherboards with plastic tabs instead of metal
screws, please follow the instructions on this page.
Otherwise, skip to the next section.
