Be aware that different variations of the CPU heatsinks exist, but the overall procedures listed are sufficient to assist you in removing the CPU heatsink. 1 Turn on the workstation and enter Computer Setup (F10) (page 35). Let the workstation run in this mode for five minutes. This action warms the thermal interface material between the CPU heatsink and processor so that the thermal bond loosens and can more easily be broken. CAUTION If you remove the CPU heatsink while the thermal pad is cold, you could lift the processor out of the socket, even if the socket is closed. This could damage the processor and the processor socket. NOTE Windows in idle state does not provide sufficient heat to warm the compound. 2 After warming the thermal interface, quickly shut down the system, disconnect power from the system (page 66), remove the access panel (page 71), and lay the workstation on its side with the system board facing up. 3 Remove the four processor screws slowly, making sure to loosen all the screws evenly.
