Installing System Components

7 Gently lift the heat sink off of the processor and set the heat sink aside

upside down (thermal grease side facing up).

CAUTION:

The processor is held in its socket under strong pressure. Be aware

that the release lever can spring up suddenly if not firmly grasped.

8 Position your thumb firmly over the processor socket-release lever and

release the lever from the locked position. Rotate the lever 90 degrees

upward until the processor is released from the socket. See Figure 3-20.

9 Rotate the processor shield upward and out of the way. See Figure 3-20.

10 Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that

the socket is ready for the new processor.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing

the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the system board.

If you are permanently removing a processor from socket CPU2, you must

install a processor blank and a heat-sink blank to ensure proper system

cooling. Adding the blanks is similar to adding a processor. See "Installing a

Processor."

NOTE:

In single-processor configurations, a processor must be installed in socket

CPU1. Install the blanks in socket CPU2 only.
