6. Remove the heat sink.
a. Gently rotate the heat sink side-to-side before lifting the heat sink from the processor.
b. If the processor is removed from the socket with the heat sink, twist or slide the processor off of the heat sink. Do not pry the processor off of
the heat sink.
c. Set the heat sink upside down so as not to contaminate the thermal grease.
7. Pull the socket-release lever straight up until the processor is released from the socket. See Figure 6 -10 .
8. Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new processor.
9. Unpack the new processor.
If any of the pins on the processor appear bent, see " Getting Help ."
10. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket. See Figure 6 -10 .
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same corner of the ZIF
socket identified by a corresponding triangle.
11. Install the processor in the socket.

NOTE: When removing the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor might adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is
recommended that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.
NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the processor.
NOTE: Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the processor correctly.
