CAUTION: Lifting the heatsink straight up while it is in a cold state can result in damage to the processor because it may prematurely pull the heatsink and processor assembly out of the processor socket. If this should occur, you will need to open the processor socket by lifting up on the processor retention lever, before attempting to install the new processor.
If the heatsink is cold to the touch, see “Guidelines for Separating the Heatsink/Processor Assembly” in this chapter.
