Alienware M18X R2 owner manual Removing the Processor Module

Procedure

1To loosen the ZIF socket, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to rotate the ZIF-socket cam screw counterclockwise until it comes to the cam stop.

CAUTION: To ensure maximum cooling for the processor module, do not touch the heat-transfer areas on the processor thermal cooling assembly. The oils in your skin can reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.

CAUTION: When removing the processor module, lift the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the processor module.

2Lift the processor module from the ZIF socket.
