Removing the Processor | 91
Procedure
1 To loosen the ZIF socket, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver and rotate the ZIF-socket
cam screw counterclockwise until it comes to the cam stop.
CAUTION: To ensure maximum cooling for the processor, do not
touch the heat-transfer areas on the processor or the heat sink.
The oils in your skin can reduce the heat transfer capability of the
thermal pads.
CAUTION: When removing the processor, lift it straight up. Be careful
not to bend the pins on the processor.
2 Lift the processor off the ZIF socket.
