2.Remove these additional assemblies:

•Keyboard cover (page 2-9).

•Keyboard (page 2-11).

•Fan and heatsink (page 2-22).

3.Carefully insert the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver in the CPU module lock mechanism, and turn the screwdriver a few degrees counterclockwise until the mechanism clicks into its OPEN position. (The CPU socket moves slightly to the left when this happens.)

Grasp the CPU module by its edges, and carefully lift it straight up and off of its socket.
