Figure 3-19. Installing and Removing the Heat Sink

Rotate the processor shield upward and out of the way. See Figure 3-20.

Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that

the socket is ready for the new processor.

CAUTION: Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing

the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the system board.

NOTE: In single-processor configurations, a processor must be installed in socket

CPU1. Install the blank in socket CPU2 only.
