8. For each of the metal securing clips that secure the heat sink to the microprocessor, press down on the clip's latch to release the clip from the retention
base. Then lift each clip out of the tabs on the retention base and away from the heat sink.
9. Lift the heat sink away from the microprocessor.
10. Pull the socket lever up straight up until the microprocessor is released.
The microprocessor uses a ZIF socket with a lever-type handle that secures or releases the microprocessor.
11. Remove the microprocessor from the socket.
Leave the release lever extended in the release position so that the socket is ready for the new microprocessor.
Installing the Microprocessor
1. If the release lever on the ZIF socket is not extended to the release position, move it to that position.
2. Align pin-1 (the beveled corner) of the microprocessor package and pin-1 of the socket.
NOTICE: Gently rock the heat sink and then lift it to remove it.
NOTICE: Do not discard the original heat sink and securing clips unless you are installing a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell. If you are not installing
a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell, reuse the original heat sink, blower, and securing clips when installing your new microprocessor.
NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when you remove the microprocessor package from the ZIF socket. Bending the package pins can
permanently damage the microprocessor.
NOTICE: You must position the microprocessor package correctly in the socket to avoid permanent damage to the microprocessor and the computer.
