Replacing the processor

4 Unplug the heat sink’s cooling fan from the system board.

5 Press down on the heat sink locking lever on each side, push them slightly away from the heat sink, then lift the levers out of the way.

6 Remove the heat sink.

Important The heat sink mounting paste may harden over time and hold the heat sink securely to the processor. If removing the heat sink also pulls the processor out of the processor socket, the processor should still be undamaged. Continue with the procedure.
