2.2.3
Removing the Processor Heatsink
To remove or replace a processor, you must first remove the heatsink.
CAUTION
Improper removal can damage the heatsink. Pay close attention to the
steps and perform each step exactly as indicated to avoid damage.
To remove the heatsink, follow these steps:
1.
Loosen the four captive screws on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner
according to the numbers shown in Figure 19 as follows:
a.
Starting with the screw at location 1, loosen it by giving it two rotations in the
counter-clockwise direction and stop. (
IMPORTANT:
Do not loosen fully
.
)
b.
Proceed to the screw at location 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop.
c.
Loosen screws at locations 3 and 4 by giving each screw two rotations and then
stop.
d.
Repeat steps 3a through 3c by giving each screw two rotations each time until you
loosen all screws.
2.
Twist the heatsink slightly to break the seal between the heatsink and the processor.
3.
Lift the heatsink from the processor. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heatsink
again. Do not force the heatsink from the processor. Doing so could damage the
processor.
