1.Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for Disassembly on page 94).
2.Remove the access panel (Access Panel on page 95).
3.Remove the fan duct (Fan duct on page 119).
4.Remove the front fan (Front Fan Assembly on page 120).
5.In the order shown, loosen the four captive screws that secure the heat sink to the system board tray.
CAUTION: Heat sink retaining screws should be removed in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to even the downward forces on the processor. This is especially important as the pins on the socket are very fragile and any damage to them may require replacing the system board.
