10 Use the tab on the processor shield to rotate the processor shield upward

and out of the way. See Figure 3-24.

Figure 3-24. Removing a 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.

11 Carefully, lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up

so that the socket is ready for the new processor.
After removing the processor, place it in an antistatic container for reuse,

return, or temporary storage. Do not touch the bottom of the processor.

Touch only the side edges of the processor.
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" on page 130.

NOTE:

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

CPU1. Install the blanks in socket CPU2 only.
