FIGURE 4-32 Removing the Heatsink and CPU
Caution – The heatsink can become extremely hot. Be sure it has had sufficient time
to cool before handling.
6. Twist the heatsink slightly to the right or left to break the seal with the thermal
grease, then lift the heatsink away from the CPU.
7. Use an alcohol pad to remove all thermal grease from the bottom of the heatsink.
Be careful not to get any thermal grease on your fingers. It is very sticky and you
may contaminate other components when handling them.
8. Place the heatsink upside-down on a flat surface to prevent the thermal grease
from contaminating other components.
9. Pull the socket release lever up to the fully open, perpendicular position (see
FIGURE 4-32).
10. Lift the CPU out of the socket, leaving the release lever in the open position.
Caution – Ensure that any thermal grease that might remain from the heatsink
does not come into contact with the CPU socket or pins.
