6 On the small form-factor and small desktop computers, remove the two screws on the blower to remove it from the heat sink. NOTICE: Do not discard the original heat sink and securing clips unless you are installing a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell. If you are not installing a microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell, reuse the original heat sink, blower, and securing clips when installing your new microprocessor. 7 Discard the original heat sink and securing clips. Removing the Microprocessor NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when you remove the microprocessor from its socket. Bending the pins can permanently damage the microprocessor. Your microprocessor socket is a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket with a lever-type handle that secures the microprocessor in, or releases it from, the socket. 1 Pull the release lever straight up until the microprocessor is released, and then remove the microprocessor from the socket. 2 Leave the release lever extended so that the socket is ready for the new microprocessor. NOTE: Do not discard the blower; reuse the blower. Your microprocessor upgrade kit from Dell includes only a replacement heat sink and two replacement securing clips. Installing Upgrades 97
