NOTICE: The processor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the processor has had sufficient time to cool before handling.
NOTICE: Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper
thermal conditions.
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.
