5 Loosen the four captive screws (one on each corner of the heatsink).
6 Remove the heat sink. If the heatsink sticks to the processor, rotate the heatsink slightly to loosen it.
Caution The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) on the bottom. Be careful not to damage this material when you remove the heat sink from the processor. If removing the heat sink also pulls the processor out of the processor socket, the processor could be damaged.
7 Rotate the processor release lever a full 135° to release the processor, then lift the processor out of the socket.
