CAUTION: The socket pins are fragile and can be permanently damaged. Be careful not to
bend the pins in the socket when removing the processor out of the socket.
11. Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the
new processor.
NOTE: If you are permanently removing a processor, you must install a processor or DIMM
blank in the vacant socket to make sure proper system cooling. The processor or DIMM blank
covers the vacant sockets for the DIMMs and the processor.
